A new set of stadium construction is underway in the MLB. What five teams actually need new parks?

Welcome to the 2020s.

No, we have a few years left until the actual date but with the Atlanta Braves leaving Turner Field for the suburbs and the Texas Rangers announcing a shiny, new palace in Arlington, the next decade of baseball architecture is underway in the MLB.

One can argue if the Braves, after 20 seasons, and the Rangers, after 23, need new stadiums, but Atlanta got their money and Texas hopes to win theirs this fall.

The Arizona Diamondbacks, only 18 years living in their retractable dome in downtown Phoenix, are looking to build a new shining palace in the desert.
