With news that the MLB will underwrite the new ABL for at least the next 5 years, it will give baseball in this country its best opportunity to survive in the Australian sporting market.
The new ABL which will start in October 2010 will have six teams from Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide and Canberra with plans already for 2 expansion teams in the coming seasons.
With the ABL operating in the off-season to the MLB, there is a chance for Australian players such as Grand Balfour (pitcher for Tampa Bay), Justin Huber who has signed with Japanese club Hiroshima after 5 years in the American system, Peter Moylan (pitcher with Atlanta), Trent Oeltjen (outfielder with Arizona) and Ryan Rowland-Smith (pitcher with Seattle) who could all get a chance to play in Australia during their off season.
