Utah Gov. Spencer Cox says officials and organizers “like our chances” of landing a big league team when MLB decides to expand.
Items advertising Big League Utah at the Silicon Slopes Summit at the Delta Center, Wednesday, Sept. 27, 2023.Listening to an eager and optimistic Gov. Spencer Cox, who called recent happenings “good news,” it sure sounds like Major League Baseball could and should be on its way to Utah.
The question sitting on Salt Lake City, like a hitter in the box waiting on a fat fastball down the meat of the plate, is whether its proposal, its location, its lust for baseball, and, most importantly, its money, like the guv said, is attractive enough to current baseball owners to make Utah winning an expansion team real.

Another part is because those who eventually will be counted on to cast ballots in the matter — the aforementioned owners — might not want it to be gauged all that thoroughly.
