Speaking of the A's, I know Vegas is on the board (although they're going to need to build an indoor stadium for that to be practical - who's going to want to play baseball in the summer outside in the middle of the desert?), but I wonder if MLB is looking north at Vancouver? It would keep the A's in the same division (and make trips to Seattle convenient), expand the Canadian market, and...well, I'm sure there are other benefits. (Access to CW TV production sites?)
