Best team nickname I’ve seen so far is the Snowbirds.
If they did a shared-team for those cities, that's actually a perfect nickname.

LOL, no.Why doesn't Montreal deserve a team? From what I recall their fans were pretty supportive.
I'm not saying Tampa's better I'm refuting the "pretty supportive" statement.And it still better than Tampa Bay draws. The Rays have been over 2 million once, in their first year in Tampa, the Expos did it 4 times. Attendence went to crap when they started looking to move, before that and the strike of 94, it was a decent market for baseball.
Plus the team being in the AL East would allow for Yankee and Red Sox fans to attend games.
Montreal is a thousand miles closer to Boston than Tampa, and around 800 miles closer from NY.

Again, my suggestion is to move to NC.
No there isnt any data I know it's a big area of no team though. I just point blank dont think Montreal is the answer. People have this romantic dream of the Expos again for some reason.Is there any data that the Carolina's would support it any better? You know what Montreal brings, a team in the Carolina's might do well, or might end up being another Miami or St. Pete.
I think that would work too but you have to reshuffle divisions. Maybe move them to NL then move Colorado from NL to AL Central and move Cleveland to AL east.Might as well move them to Vegas.
Why not put a team in San Juan? Weather is nice. Not much farther than Mexico City plus its a US territory.
A serious question since I've never been there would be if you could charge the same amount for tickets, beer, food, parking, etc.And Puerto Rico is traditionally a baseball hotbed.

I have heard several people suggest Vegas as a better landing spot. If this happens they should get Pete Rose to manage the club.
