The Vancouver Whitecaps are being put up for sale.

MLS commissioner Don Garber visited Indianapolis on Monday to reaffirm league's interest in the city.

Indy 's aggressive bid for an MLS expansion team cooled off in the summer .

MLS has paused its expansion at 30 teams, as it is well aware of the risks of expanding too fast.

The Vancouver Whitecaps FC is up for sale, but the chances are still very good the team will remain in Vancouver .

Vancouver fans are particularly sensitive to that idea, having seen the Grizzlies poached by Memphis in the early aughts.

The CFL has tried for years to find a spot for a new team and failed every time.
