MLB hasn’t had a franchise relocate since the Expos moved from Montreal to Washington in 2005 and became the Nationals, but the stadium situations in Oakland and the Tampa Bay area are becoming more unpalatable by the year. Asked how close the A’s or Rays might be to the point of no return with their current markets, Manfred offered up no specifics but also didn’t dismiss the notion of relocation....
