A split season sounds ridiculous and problematic, but could be a marketing bonanza with so many possibilities

It really makes sense for surely one is exposed on their X-rays.

Throw New England into the deal for a football team called the “Expats”

Forget the Rays all together and call them “St. Pete PoBoys”.

For disgruntled Rays fans the team could become known as the “Montreal Devil Pays”

Without a new domed stadium in Tampa Bay and playing only spring and fall games there, they would be creating a “domeless” problem in St Pete.

If the deal goes through without MLB owner’s approval, would the entire team become illegal aliens or merely undocumented shortstops?

If the Exrays go to Montréal for the whole season, the stadium in St. Pete could become a national monument called “Flopicana” that could well draw bigger crowds than baseball did. Recall that the “Trop” was built before a team committed to play there, then became the first home for the Tampa Bay Lightning before the Devil Rays were even conceived. Ah, such a rich history of failure worthy of preservation, or should I say conservation despite the fact that the stadium was altered twice before and after the Lightning’s occupancy.
