The seemingly inevitable expansion of Major League Baseball will likely have little impact on the Cincinnati Reds. Perhaps there would be more games with the in-state rival Cleveland Guardians, but otherwise, the nearly 150-year-old franchise shouldn’t see many changes. Former Reds star Barry Larkin, though, seems deeply invested in MLB’s next act.
Larkin, a Hall of Famer, has cast his lot with the group that is seeking to bring a franchise to Orlando. Larkin now lives in central Florida and has been an outspoken advocate for the push for baseball in Orlando.
