The City of Vancouver has chosen a local group with U.S. connections to lead the bid for a Major League Baseball team, according to a news release. The selected group is called The Show Vancouver (TSV), which has been working to bring professional baseball to the city. The decision was announced Wednesday by the bid group.
Real estate developer Zack Ross of the Cape Group is leading the effort. The group includes Jac Sper, who has ties to the U.S. baseball community. The bid aims to bring a Major League Baseball team to Vancouver, which would be the first in Canada.
The city’s selection of TSV marks a key step in the long process of securing an MLB team. The group will now work with city officials to develop a plan for the team. The move comes as other Canadian cities have also expressed interest in hosting a Major League Baseball team.
The decision reflects growing interest in expanding MLB’s presence beyond the United States. The Show Vancouver will now focus on next steps, including community engagement and financial planning. (castanet.net)
