What baseball team do Panthers fans root for?

This is marginally related to the Panthers, but I am curious and I know it will get more traffic in this section of the forum.  I did not find anything similar using the search function.

 

Given that there is not a professional baseball team in the Carolinas, who do most of you root for? The Orioles and the Nationals make sense because of distance.  The Braves are an option as well.  The Durham Bulls are the triple A affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays and the Charlotte Knights is the triple A affiliate of the White Sox, so it would make sense to follow either the Sox or the Rays.  There are several other minor league teams, but the triple A teams are most relevant to the major league clubs, unless a young stud jumps from single or double A.  

 

With that said who is your team and why?

Loved the giants as a kid, big Barry bonds fan. Went to a padres giants game when I took a trip to south town as a kid.

I have fell off for years, and not a baseball fan at all. If I had to identify with a team it would be the giants. I hesitate, cause I do not want to identified as a banwaggoner. So I guess I'm N/A.

Definitely holding out for a franchise in the Carolinas.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Clowney released

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
