The Show Vancouver (TSV), a group founded by local real estate developer Zack Ross and backed by a team of globally recognized sports industry specialists, has been formally chosen by Vancouver City Council to put the city’s best foot forward in its bid to land an MLB team. Baker brings direct experience with MLB stadium development. The group’s selection does not mean Vancouver has secured an MLB team, nor has MLB formally awarded the city an expansion franchise. The proponent must also conduct further due diligence on whether a Vancouver franchise and stadium are financially viable before any eventual bid to MLB. “The selection of a preferred bid team marks an important step in exploring the potential for Major League Baseball in Vancouver,” said Anderson.
