They'd obviously be called the Canada Rays.
"C Rays" for short.
And, if you have a problem with that, take it up with your local congressman. Otherwise, stick to the thread topic and avoid the personal attacks as this is just another example of how Redszone is out of touch with the rest of America and Montreal.

This is a bit of an exaggeration.
During the season, there's 81 road games.. I am not sure how many days away from home that translates to, but they already have to have someone take care of their pets.
Maybe they could give the players the same per deim in Montreal that they get on the road to help make up for possibly paying double rent, etc.

Horrible idea. Just move the Rays to either Nashville or Charlotte.
At least in Montreal the fanbase will be able to see over the steering wheel when they're going to the game.

Sounds like some lawsuits are coming, leases can be broken.
Go Gators!
Isn’t there some legal debauchery in Montreal?
Asking for a friend in case baseball goes back there.
I'd like to know how that lease breaks down. IIRC, the Rays slapped a 25-year no relocation clause on MLB when they entered the league (in return for not suing the league over convincing St. Pete to build a stadium on spec). That lease might not be so ironclad after 2022. Also, there was some reporting a few years back the redevelopment rights are more valuable than the lease. The Rays aren't floating this idea if they don't think there's a way out before 2027. We don't know where the wiggle is, but they're looking to knock something loose.

The television crews left and about 10 reporters remained in the room. That's when Price took his turn doing the talking.
What followed was a five-minute, 34-second expletive-filled tirade. The final tally was 77 uses of the "F" word or a variant and 11 uses of a vulgar term for feces (two bovine, one equine).
