Is Houston not closer to San Juan than Baltimore?

Yes get rid of the Marlins, that would free Florida back up to be Braves territory again.

Wonder if that could lead to anything? Or maybe they should do what NHL should have done in the first place, have 1 team MAX in Florida and that's it.

Rays were 6th last in attendance % and last in attendance overall last year(despite a 90 win season).

Would Carolina be good spot for a MLB team? Or what about Indiana? If MLB got a team there, then they could fit in the central division while another team like Detroit(if they move to al) or Pittsburgh(if they move to nl) moves to the east.
The Rays moving is a matter of when, but you can't honestly expect the Marlins to go anywhere now that their stadium is built.

Believe it or not, it's 500 miles further away than Baltimore is. Games in Seattle would be awful for the franchise.

I saw an awesome yet impossible idea from somewhere.. might've been Jonah Keri.

We move the Marlins somewhere, and put the Rays in the Marlins' new stadium. Probably impossible, but would be really awesome.

North Carolina is really big on college sports especially basketball. I think MLB just has a couple too many teams right now.
