Cincinnati Reds Legend Barry Larkin Working to Bring MLB Team to Orlando



  • There are efforts to get Major League Baseball into places like Nashville, but the legendary shortstop is also working to bring another team to Florida.

Barry Larkin, a Cincinnati Reds Hall of Famer, is actively involved in efforts to bring a Major League Baseball (MLB) team to Orlando, Florida. He has been working with Pat Williams, a former Orlando Magic executive, on this project for several years. Their plan includes building a $1.7 billion stadium in the Orlando area, with the goal of expanding MLB to 32 teams. Despite the challenges, including the need for significant public funding and the complexities of MLB expansion, Larkin remains optimistic, citing Orlando's growing population and its status as a tourist destination as key factors that could support a new MLB franchise. The initiative has garnered attention, but as of now, no concrete steps have been taken by MLB towards expansion.
