THe reason why I brought it up is that you were saying that there will soon be, in your opinion, a team outside N.A.; If you take the two best cases for teams outside of the USA, we would be looking at San Juan, Puerto Rico (which, although a Caribbean Island, is still considered N.A.) and Mexico City, Mexico, which is also considered N.A.

My comment was not made to be rude and I was not confused it was just made to question where outside N.A. we could see a MLB franchise.

Thanks...

I think MLB will increase their presence outside North America every year, especially in Japan. As they have done in the past I think they will continue to play games over seas during spring training. Ideally MLB would like to have franchises in Japan but the travel schedule makes that prohibitive.
