Maybe you should check out the size of the Metro/suburb areas of some of those places before you say that, just the city limits don't count.

I did. Portland is bigger than Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Kansas City, and Milwaukee.
The Mariners have territorial rights to Portland.
When the A's move to Las Vegas, that will automatically become the smallest market in MLB.
I've said before that there is no straight shot to expansion. There are logistical or financial (or both) obstacles in every potential city.

I just read an online article in the Central Oregon Daily about the pros and cons of each proposed expansion city and the Nashville city council has already agreed to fund a new $1.5 billion football stadium for the Titans and therefore might be reluctant to shell out more taxpayers money to fund a baseball stadium unless the private partnership group agrees to fund part of the project.
Territorial rights are fucking bullshit and classist as hell. I'm so fucking sick of that excuse.
Within the same state (aside from the large ones) is somewhat understandable. Everything after that needs to fuck off.
Highlight reel shit for the ages. 
If MLB wants it badly enough, it'll happen. Just like when the Expos moved to Washington despite Baltimore kicking up a stink.
It was a great game to spend $360 for five tickets to bring the family to watch our team get no hit by one of the worst teams in the league. I'm glad the Tigers got their World Series for the year.
Sean Casey (the Mayor) is the Yankees’ new hitting coach.
Congratulations to Julio Rodriguez for 41 home runs in the derby. A good show.
I guess losing 2/3 to my Cubs is a qualifier for getting fired
Luis Robert (White Schlox), 25, injured himself while participating in the Home Run Derby on Monday night. So much for it being "all in fun".
Starr Insurance will pay the Yankees $25 million per year to have their name on their jerseys, the biggest jersey patch deal in baseball, topping the $18 million Mass Mutual is paying the Red Sox. The top deal in U.S. sports is the Golden State Warriors and Rakuten at $45 million. The Yankees were offered richer deals, but Starr was already a sponsor, is based in NYC and the CEO was friends with George Steinbrenner.
Nothing is more representative of modern MLB than the Yankees scrupulously managing their uniforms for a century only to slap a patch advertising the third-biggest flood insurance outfit in New York on there for peanuts.
A "head homer" trumps all other shenanigans.
Yes, that was the joke.
I was at both Reds home games during that sweep but I can not remember, off the top of my head, if was at home or in Oakland.
