Since you got the real answere I was jokingly going to say Pittsburgh but someone even beat me to that. Oh well.

Among the 40 largest metropolitant areas in the country (by the 2008 Census Bureau estimate), only these don’t have a team within the metropolitan area:

Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, CA…..4,115,871
Portland-Vancouver-Beaverton, OR-WA…2,207,462
Sacramento–Arden-Arcade–Roseville, CA..2,109,832
Orlando-Kissimmee, FL……………………….2,054,574
San Antonio, TX……………………….2,031,445
Las Vegas-Paradise, NV……………1,865,746
San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA…1,819,198
Columbus, OH………………………..1,773,120
Indianapolis-Carmel, IN……………..1,715,459
Charlotte-Gastonia-Concord, NC-SC…..1,701,799
Virginia Beach-Norfolk-Newport News, VA-NC.1,658,292
Austin-Round Rock, TX……………..1,652,602
Providence-New Bedford-Fall River, RI-MA…1,596,611
Nashville-Davidson–Murfreesboro–Franklin, TN.1,550,733
Jacksonville, FL……………………….1,313,228

Many of these are too close to existing franchises to have much hope of getting a relocated team or an expansion team in 2018 or whenever the next ones are added. BTW, I was surprised to learn while looking this up that Milwaukee is the smallest SMSA with a major league team. The smallest areas are:

Milwaukee (39th largest)
Kansas City (29th) – the one I expected to be smallest
Cleveland (26th)
Cincinnati (24th)
Pittsburgh (22nd)
Denver (21st)
Baltimore (20th)
Tampa-St Petersburg (19th)
St Louis (18th)
San Diego (17th)
Minneapolis (16th)
Seattle (15th)

Jacksonville is the 40th largest. Riverside is 14th largest, then the top 13 all have at least one major league team.

What about Kansas City? (Apologies to Royals fans. You truly have my sympathies.)
