RaysUP - Montreal deal is Dead - MLB kills - Stu Laments

Thursday the news was out. There will not be a Tampa Bay / Montreal  Sister City Baseball team. Stu Sternberg & Stephen Bronfman got the word from MLB    The Deal (i.e., wicked old witch) is Dead. I feel like a joyous munchkin 

• MLB says NO to Montreal deal RaysUp
• Stu’s lament
• Press conference 
• Bronfman
• Rob Manfred and MLB Executive Committee supported Sister City plan since 2 years ago
• More Fans in Trop Stands?
• How did Arlington build a new Rangers stadium
• What’s next?
• Does the CBA make a difference
• What is the role of local sports media
• Who has more viewership the Tampa Bay Rays or the Tampa Bay Lightning
• Mat Germain - “TV is where the money is”
• Was the Sister City idea a new one, ask Omaha, Kansas, Puerto Rico & Montreal
• Bronfman – proclaims it’s a bloody eulogy. We all got slapped in the face. The rest of us fans in Tampa are pleased as punch.
• How is that looking there Todd
