MLB could be heading to Europe in 2014
I've never been a fan of teams playing regular season games outside the US or Canada.

After the Reds win the series in 2013, they'll undoubtedly get invited to this.

The Dutch will probably want the two New Amsterdam teams

Re: MLB could be heading to Europe in 2014
This is a politically savvy move that will aid baseball's quest to return as an Olympic sport.
More practically, the time shift of playing 5+ hours to the east is likely to be unpleasant for the players. Spring Training there could be a disaster, full of games unplayed due to cold and rainy conditions if the sites are chosen for political reasons, rather than for their warm climates.

I give this about a 0.01% chance of happening.

And what would "THE UNION" say about this? Might have to belly-up about $300k/player/game to get them to agree.
