On Friday,
the Red Sox will officially announce that they will play two exhibition games next Spring in Montreal against the Blue Jays. The games will be April 1 and April 2—just before the start of the regular season on April 4th in Cleveland. Chatter about major league baseball returning to Quebec's biggest city has intensified with the
apparent imprimatur of new MLB commissioner
Rob Manfred,
"The Montreal market was a major league market and my own opinion is that it could be a major league market again." Here's hoping the pathetic fans of Tampa (who average around 16,000 per game) will
lose the Rays franchise to Canada.
