To be clear, Oakland was going to lose the team regardless. Their local politicians fucked this up so epically that there was no chance of coming back.

But if you play this out a few years, you give Salt Lake City and Portland a chance to get their ducks lined up for a serious relocation pitch.

As it stands, SLC might just be moving towards getting the second expansion slot when MLB decides to go to the ATM again.
