Is Orlando destined to be one of the next MLB cities? The Orlando Dreamers are looking to make it happen
The article examines the Orlando Dreamers’ campaign to bring a Major League Baseball franchise to Orlando, presenting the city as a potential future expansion or relocation market. It argues that Orlando’s tourism profile and Central Florida location could make it an attractive home for a new team, while recognising that joining MLB would require significant investment and league approval.
Jim Schnorf, the group’s co-founder and chief operating officer, outlines the case for Orlando as a major-league city. The effort is framed around the area’s large visitor economy and existing prominence beyond sport, although no indication is given that MLB has formally selected Orlando or awarded it a franchise.
- Orlando Dreamers are campaigning for an MLB team in Central Florida.
- Supporters cite Orlando’s tourism economy and regional appeal.
- Any franchise would still require MLB approval and investment.
