Former All-Star MLB pitcher Dave Stewart reportedly is leading a potential ownership group that seeks to bid for an MLB expansion team in Nashville
The potential ownership group also includes former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, who was the first Hispanic to serve as White House Counsel in 2005. The group expects to raise $2 billion to purchase an expansion team, according to Bryant.
The proposed team name is the Nashville Stars, which honors the Negro League team that played in the city until the 1950s. "We started this process four years ago,” Stewart said. “Nashville is a fast-growing city. It has a beautiful population of people. There's so much going on here. So, MLB put Nashville as one of its top places for expansion, and I think that triggered the idea to go down this path.”
