One of the local Sacramento stations last night ran a piece on a group of
local business leaders looking to have MLB consider the city. I suspect MLB
will ignore this just like they did an effort in the 80s to attract a team.

Jim, I suspect you're right. It feels like Montreal is being used to threaten
Tampa Bay, in the same way that Las Vegas is being used to get a new stadium
built in Oakland.

As probably the only Rays fan on this list… I’m fairly well convinced that the
“split season” situation isn’t going to actually happen, it’s just the Rays
trying to pit the two cities against each other in order to see which one is
going to build a new stadium first.

Not necessarily. I presume the Jays will be strongly encouraged to get
vaccinated (if they haven’t already). As for the the visiting teams, they’d be
subject to MLB’s protocol, which makes things much easier for teams that are
85% vaxxed and probably basically bubbling while they’re in Toronto. If they
stay in the hotel that’s attached to the Rogers Centre, they really don’t even
need to leave the building.
The Tampa-Montreal thing won’t happen until 2028 at the earliest, unless the
Rays find a way to get out of their lease.

What’s interesting is that MLB is still not requiring players & personnel to
vaccinate. Presumably that will change for the Blue Jays (and for anyone
scheduled to play them at home).
(Aside: was this the year the TB Rays were supposed to start splitting the
season between St. Pete & Montreal?)

Not mentioned: About a week and a half after the Blue Jays return to their
stadium after Buffalo exile...
