Justin Timberlake is from Memphis, Tennessee, and in 2012 he became a minority owner of the NBA's Memphis Grizzlies.

And now, he wants to bring a Major League Baseball team to Tennessee.  He's joined a group that's trying to bring a team to Nashville.  They're planning to call the team the Nashville Stars, and they're hoping to have it in place by 2024.

But that's a long-shot.  MLB has 30 teams, and there aren't any plans to expand beyond that.  There also aren't any teams currently looking to re-locate.  And even if there was an opportunity, there are still a lot of financial hurdles.
