"It’s clear to me that Nashville is ready for Major League Baseball, and Music City Baseball is making smart
and exciting decisions as it works to bringing a team here," Dombrowski said in a statement. "From its
relationship with the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum to its community support, Music City Baseball has built
a strong foundation.
"Nashville is a city with deep baseball roots, and as we emerge from the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, I
believe baseball, and more speci cally Music City Baseball, can play an important role in bringing the city back
together,” he added. “My wife Karie and I are looking forward to becoming part of the Nashville community.”
The Music City Baseball leadership team includes former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, MLB All-
Star and former general manager Dave Stewart, longtime St. Louis Cardinals, Oakland Athletics and Chicago
White Sox manager Tony La Russa, and Vanderbilt coach Tim Corbin.

City Baseball. “We have the opportunity to join together as a community to bring Major League Baseball to
Nashville, and I believe David’s role is going to be crucial in making that happen.”
The Music City Baseball LLC group was created in 2019, hoping to bring baseball to Nashville by 2024. The
group decided on the Nashville Stars as the working name for the franchise.

Nashville's metropolitan statistical area (MSA) population is close to 2.1 million. That puts it among
the bottom 5 cities that currently have an MLB team. But it should also be noted that there are 9 MLB
cities with less than 3 million MSA. So it is possible that a Nashville team could thrive. The support
the city has shown the Titans NFL team and the Predators NHL team has been amazing to witness
since they both arrived in the 1998-1999 period. Nashville is a great city, a great place to live and play,
and is growing in leaps and bounds. Numerous company headquarters are located in the area...
another great source of ticket sales and monetary support. And the management team mentioned in
the article is very impressive.

Move the Red Sox to Nashville and leave the rest of the teams alone.

aren't.
