The City of Vancouver selects a locally based group led by real estate developer Zack Ross as its preferred partner to pursue a Major League Baseball expansion bid. According to reports, Ross is the president of the Vancouver real estate company Cape Group and leads “The Show Vancouver,” a group formed to bring an MLB team to the city. Coverage also notes that Ross has U.S. connections tied to his efforts, and he frames the bid as a way for Vancouver to secure a team in a major U.S. sports league. While details of the bid process and any specific terms of the partner selection are not provided in the sources cited, both outlets describe the same organization and leadership. Ross’ public statements emphasize that Vancouver should have an MLB franchise, while the city’s decision is presented as a step in moving forward on an expansion proposal. The reporting centers on the appointment of the preferred partner and the establishment of The Show Vancouver as the group tasked with advancing the city’s MLB ambitions.
