I think the way MLB has handled things make much more sense than the NFL and other leagues. In MLB has always been if a team comes into existence that becomes that team. If they move the history is still the same. The Washington Senators moved to Minnesota to become the Twins, and then a new Washington Senators team came into existence and then moved to Texas. The Washington Senators/Minnesota Twins are the same, and the Washington Senators/Texas Rangers are the same team. The Montreal Expos/Washington Nationals are the same team. To me that is the logical way to look at it.
