Tennessee baseball can choose to transfer in the wake of Tony Vitello's exit to the Giants, but Danny White is preaching patience and opportunity.

While Dave Checketts didn’t offer a time frame for the league adding two teams, he pinpointed the cities he sees as the frontrunners. Like commissioner Rob Manfred has stated, Checketts expects an expansion franchise in the East and the West. In the East, he said, it’s Orlando, Charlotte and Nashville.

Tennessee Vols athletic director Danny White met with the media on Wednesday following UT baseball coach Tony Vitello's decision to leave Knoxville to become the new manager of the San Francisco Giants.
