hmm, that might be a tough one to get a foot hold with.
The Braves own the southeast, that's a lot of long time fandom to convert
Do the white Sox have veto power over Charlotte due to having their aaa team there for mutiple decadesYeah...Braves do "own" a lot of the smaller markets in the SE (Birmingham, Knoxville, Jackson MS, Chattanooga, Greenville, etc...), but it's a big mix in the larger markets (Nashville, Charlotte, Raleigh, etc) due to transplants. If the MLB is eyeing the Carolinas, I see Charlotte getting a team first just based on corporate cash. Charlotte has become a huge banking hub (BOA, Capital One, SunTrust/BB&T merger....).

It whould be a huge pr hit for the league if the white Sox relocated due to their 100 year history.they probably should have when the a’s ,braves and browns left their original city’s the league would have been better for itIf we're relocating another team, fine. But hell no to expansion.
The White Sox are a team to keep an eye on for relocation if Jerry Reinsdorf suddenly falls ill. He is 83 and currently fine from what I know.
However the word is that his family will only keep the Bulls and sell the White Sox.

Not even if they owned the Knights, which they don't.
Charlotte and Nashville both have bigger Metro areas, you'd think they would be higher on the list of expansion cities.
Also could see Vegas getting into the mix now that they have 2 teams.
