Unless someone builds a downtown stadium MLB is not returning.

Look at the two negative nancy's holding each other's rods.

Actually, even if they did that, there is no team available at this point.

Yup - from what I've heard at the office, word on the street is Stuart Sternberg (Rays owner and former partner at the firm) has hired Goldman Sachs to look into "getting a park built" in Mtl. Part of the deal would also include splitting the fees to buyout the TBay municipal gov't to break the current lease - a few hundred million.

He's also hired Steve Greenberg (legendary Hank Greenbergs son) who works for the top pro sports brokerage house - Allen & company.

Sternberg grew up a die hard Mets fan in Brooklyn, and wanted to buy them, but doesn't look as if it will materialize.

 

[Krustchev]

But it's not even plausible without one.

Montreal Xrays !!!! Woohoooo

 

[Habs53]

Can you imagine having rivalries with the Jays, Redsox and Yankees. I honestly could not blame the Rays owner wanting to move if ever possible.

Have you ever lived in Montreal? It's not a baseball city.

Dear Bell, please do not make the huge mistake of getting involved with baseball in Montreal. Not a baseball city. Save your loonies on better fortunes

Funniest thing is the two guys who seem to have the biggest problem with this renewed interest in bringing back a team are two guys who don't even live in the city. Don't worry Krusty, it won't be happening for a while.

Credibility?

 

[lecoqsportif]

Am I wrong?

Yes. The business model has totally changed with media platform.

 

[XPOFAN]

Credibility?

debateable from what I can tell

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Yes. The business model has totally changed with media platform.

It's definitely not the best baseball city.... but it doesn't have to be. Just needs to be in the top 30, which I think it would be if a nice downtown stadium magically appeared.
