What are Raleigh's chances of landing an MLB expansion team, according to MLB insiders?
Stephen Nesbitt of @theathletichq discusses why he thinks it will come down to Raleigh vs. Nashville in the East, and why Raleigh is a much more realistic option than many believe.

Based on activities, cost, weather and safety, Raleigh picked up a top-20 spot of cities to head to this summer from @wallethub . Just wait until @MLB arrives. #RaleighOnDeck
There can be two truths;
1) Charlotte’s ballpark is beautiful and one of the best in baseball.
2) It cannot expand to MLB standards and land not suitable, even if demoed.
Thank you for attending our Ted Talk.

There are people amongst us, could be family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, even troll accounts that LOVE baseball, but are unaware of the amazing push to bring MLB to North Carolina.
Please, let’em know. #RaleighOnDeck
Asked frequently about timeline for expansion, this is the final (and biggest) step. Once an agreement is reached, TV can be aligned and expansion team bids can be approved. #RaleighOnDeck
Forget the narrowed expansion cities list, but look at ALL cities across the country, Raleigh is the ONLY one being called out as the place to be for a 40-year range of people.
Just graduated, first home millennial, retiree ready to settle in, everyone is eyeing what Raleigh brings to the table. #RaleighOnDeck
Just wanted to shoutout @thefarm.sandlot . Proceeds from last month’s Baseball, Beer and BBQ event went to the crew revitalizing a baseball field for the community. Make the sport accessible for all, so we can grow the game we love. #LetsGrow #RaleighOnDeck
