#2 Market Without MLB Franchise Cautiously Pessimistic About Marlins

"If Major League Baseball wants to come to Norfolk, the welcome mat is out, (Mayor Paul) Fraim said. But we are not going to get in a position where we are bidding against other communities for this team.

"He added that he doesnt think the Marlins will leave Miami, a market of more than 5 million people.

"Everything we know about Major League Baseball is that they hate relocation, Fraim said.

"They know it casts a certain image of failure over the league.

"Its hard for me to see a scenario where they would leave Florida.

"Yet if they do, he added, were willing to talk." (Virginian-Pilot)
