Starved for fans despite success on the field, the Tampa Bay Rays have been given the go-ahead by Major League Baseball to look into playing a split season in Montreal.

However, the mayor of St. Petersburg, Florida, home of the Rays, says the team can’t explore playing home games elsewhere before 2028 unless there is an agreement with the city.

No timetable for the possible plan was announced. An idea under consideration is for the Rays to play early in the season in Tampa Bay and later in Montreal.
