YoYoIsMyHero Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Now this is just bizarre. Just move them the Montreal already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenryan Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Odds of this type of arraignment actually happening is like 1%. MLBPA will have major issues. The city of St Petersburg has to agree to this and that is unlikely. Sounds like a power move by Rays to force St Pete and Tampa’s hand. The two cities/counties leaders have been bickering a lot lately and there was some words said yesterday. And today this comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 So they can draw poorly in 2 countries? In the MLBTR comments section, someone pointed out that the Expos had the worst attendance their last like 5 years of existence. Why are they pushing Montreal?

I was pretty young at the time, but I think this has to do with the fact that everyone knew Loria was going to gut them and move them and they were pissed. Montreal was a fun baseball town back in the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zenryan Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Mayor of St Petersburg just said no chance. Won’t even bring it up to a vote with the city council. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
