Here's the latest Montreal proposal to share the Rays with Tampa Bay

https://www.tampabay.com/sports/2019/02/22/heres-the-latest-montreal-proposal-to-share-the-rays-with-tampa-bay/


OK, this is what the Tampa Bay Rays owner is doing because we did not spend tax money tobuild him a shiny new baseball stadium. Now...here is what is sleazy...we would have to share the team with not just another city, but another country, and not just another country, but the one part of canada where the dominant language is French? How the hell is that supposed to build loyalty to the team?

Stadium hungry owners have little idea how much they are disenchanting people from their product. As far as Montreal goes, we all know what happened to les expos. the folks in Quebec are not fans of that most anglo-american sport, baseball.

That is because the current location of the stadium makes it hard to travel there and find parking.. It was nto even the best locale in St. Pete (that would have been the old airport) Still, we know this is because the owner did not get his behemoth..
