This report says that Montreal has its investors lined up and meeting all the requirements for a baseball expansion team or move. Before you trot out the "they had their chance" stuff, Montreal got jobbed, first by the strike, then by bad ownership and a decaying, awful stadium, then by MLB engineering the destruction and move of the franchise. Trust me, if you were a baseball fan in Montreal in the early '90s, you'd have stopped supporting that team, too. But it's a big city, it has baseball history and a fan base that could be as rabid as any, and if they have investors and the probability of a new park, they deserve a return to the majors. I mean, if Vegas could get TWO pro sports franchises in rapid order, Montreal should have a baseball team to go along with hockey, the CFL, and MLS. (Canadian Press via Sportsnet)
