Insurance though. And, the City of Tampa must provide them a facility to play in, per the agreement. 

What about building a new 35000 seat stadium in Montreal & moving the team there? The team could use Olympic Stadium in the interim. Are the Bronfman's still involved in trying to bring a MLB team to Montreal?

The Big Owe is not available they are pumping another 870 m into the place and replacing the roof which apparently will take 4 years to replace😁

There is little to no interest in bringing another team to Canada right now. No expansion until everything is sorted with the As and Rays, for sure. They need leverage on the cities. 

Can't see anyone building a domed stadium in Montreal right now, either.

Tampa Bays Rays will play the 2025 season at Steinbrenner Field formally known as Legends Field, Yankees will pocket 15 m. for the honour. Depending on what the Government does they may never play in Tropicana ever again

Oakland is available

2 MLB teams will be playing in minor league parks this up coming season

Yeah, not a good situation. The As are a gong show and the MLB should never have allowed it to get this bad, but the Rays is genuinely sad. 

The Rays have more problems getting shovels in the ground for a new park.

Yeah, looks like they're going to have to move. Because we know that billionaires won't spend any of their own money.

I guess the government has 3 options, fix Tropicana and forget about a new park still might leave, fix Tropicana and find another way to finance a new park or don't do anything and just let them go,

Judge and Ohtani MVP's of their respected leagues, no arguments from me they are the two best players in the game today

Looks like the Dodgers are loading up this time in the pitching department. Imagine if they sign Soto

I wont be surprised if the Mets or Red Sox sign Juan Soto, he wants the biggest contract in MLB and the Yankees don't look like they are going to do that. 

Not surprised it looks like Juan Soto is staying in New York but not with the Yankees.

Yankees lost out on Soto and that one hurts but now can concentrate on fixing their SP rotation, they did that today. Now to find a first and third baseman

The Airbender is now the closer for the Yankees

The retooling continues

 

Ricky Henderson dead at 65. Good lord... Not sure what happened but that's way too young. One of the greatest leadoff men in MLB history. Not just fast but an intelligent base runner...

Best lead off hitter of all time,  nobody is touching that stolen base record.  

I don't really follow baseball for a couple of months but damn 9 home runs in one game by the Yankees is impressive and a new Yanks team record

and Yankees broke a MLB record by hitting homers on their first 3 pitches of the game.

Yankee players are using torpedo bats, bombs away

That's a hell of a contract Vladdy got.
