Minor League Saturation issue and a Second Franchise for your City

And so let's pretend we would house some triple A clubs in the same yard as the Big League one and have to name it.

Let's say MLB expansion happens for Portland and Montreal.  And we can say there might be a saturation problem in MLB as far as AAA cities are concerned, the map being tagged up, saturated.  Having the new big club in Portland and Montreal probably would be a little too much too soon to have their Triple-A club in town as well.  A new trip-A team would likely sit better in a seasoned city of a big league club.  So Montreal can have the Louisville Bats and the Reds can club up at Great American Ballpark with the Cincinnati Lumber Company big league affiliate.  Sounds badass to me.
