perhaps that still happens if a team returns to Macon, goes to SAL and Columbia moves to Carolina league. I think i’ve heard reports of teams in the FSL struggling, possible two teams from there move to Carolina league along with two Cali teams?
I was hoping this was going to happen when Columbia (SC) was trying to lure Minor League baseball back. New Spirit Communications Park hold up to 9,000 and would be a nice fit in the Carolina League. Oh well.
