No. I would love to see it happen, but there simply aren't enough baseball fans to support a major league team. Also, with what's happening with RSL and the stadium trouble in Sandy, there's no way a city or county is going to spring for the money it would cost to expand Franklin Quest - not to mention the necessary money it would take to acquire enough land around the stadium for parking - and there is no way a guy who wants to put MLB in Utah would ever pay for a stadium himself. He'd just go to another city willing to do so.

I enjoy the AAA ball as much as I do MLB. If you ever want to catch a Bees game, let me know. I'm always up for that. We could talk about KCGL or early KJQ while we put down a few dogs and Cokes.
