SFGiants58 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I’m hoping The Church of Scientology buys the team. It’d be a hilarious ownership saga. 4 Quote MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gosioux76 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 You have to at least give Rays ownership some points for creativity, no? The whole proposition seems ludicrous, and I don't believe for a second that this is designed as a long-term solution to the situation. But I can see how concept could, in theory, bring some clarity to two unanswered questions that make Tampa and Montreal risky bets on their own. Question 1: Is the main problem with Tampa its stadium and location? Or is it a market that's proven it can't support MLB? This half-season ploy allows them to dip one toe in the water to test out this theory. If they can show, in half-season increments, that Tampa can support the Rays in a more ideal location, maybe that reduces the risk of going all-in on the market. Conversely, if it proves the market won't support MLB at all, then it shows they were right to not invest more fully in Tampa and can explore the possibilities in Montreal. Question 2: Can Montreal support MLB or is nostalgia driving the push to relaunch the Expos? It's the same scenario for Montreal. Having a team there, even for a half season, allows them to exhibit the market's appetite for pro baseball. Even if the Rays decide to go all-in with Tampa eventually, Montreal can apply their experience as part-time hosts as evidence in their arguments for relocation of expansion. It's akin to what Oklahoma City did with the NBA as temporary hosts of the Hornets. In this scenario, the optimal outcome would be Tampa proves it can support the Rays and Montreal showcases its potential for a team of its own. This could all be fantasy, of course. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't mean that current corporations are backing it. There are also many large local corporations not on this list, so its clearly not unanimous.

gosioux76 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 In a selfish way, I'm disappointed. I don't live in Tampa, nor am I a Rays fan, but as an outsider I'd have been curious to see this play out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
