A report by Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe indicates that Major League Baseball could someday call the city of Montreal home once again.

Cafardo reports that there is “some real talk” concerning the possibility that the Rays, currently based in St. Petersburg, Florida, could see Montreal as an alternative should the deal for a new stadium in Florida fall through in the future.

As has been pointed out, there is plenty of big business in Montreal and the only glaring need would be the construction of a new stadium, given the fact that the only place to play is former Expos’ home Olympic Stadium.

Montreal will host spring training games on March 28 and 29 between the Toronto Blue Jays and the New York Mets, another sign that Major League Baseball is at least open to exploring this possibility in the future.

A group advocating the return of a big league club to Montreal, led by former Expos outfielder Warren Cromartie, is set to announce the results of a feasibility study. According to the study, the potential is very promising.
