I saw a TV sports clip on the news out of Nashville a few days ago, and if I heard it correctly, the team name would be aligned somehow with the old Negro Leagues Nashville Stars
They plan to present MLB through a feasibility study and economic analysis why Nashville would be ideal for MLB. The plan is to build a 42,000-seat stadium, in honor of Jackie Robinson, with privately-funded money, and a surrounding mixed-use family sports and entertainment district.
The goal is to present an official expansion proposal to MLB at the 2021 Winter Meetings in Nashville. MLB wants to eventually expand to 32 teams, but there are no current plans with the Oakland Athletics and Tampa Bay Rays still trying to seek approval for new ballparks. The leading candidate for potential relocation is the Rays, who are exploring the possibility of splitting future seasons between Montreal and Tampa.

Q: How do you make bad Nashville traffic worse?
I'm also sure MLB is more than happy to have some hype for a Nashville MLB effort since that'll put some pressure on Oakland and Tampa to get the stadium issues for the A's and Rays resolved.
