Drew Mahalic’s Response to Mayor Potter’s Comments on Major League Baseball

Yesterday was without question a landmark day in Portland’s quest to land a Major League Baseball franchise. We had a very productive set of introductory meetings with the Governor, Mayor, and many others who want to see Major League Baseball in Portland become a reality. Going into the day, we candidly did not know just how serious the Marlins were about relocation. After having the opportunity to meet with them, I have come away with the very strong impression that not only is their interest in relocation absolutely genuine, but that the opportunity presented for Portland is in fact, very real.
