Keith Olbermann ripped Scott Boras' idea of baseball in New Jersey Thursday night, while simultaneously ripping the "oversized Gulag punishment cell that is Tropicana Field." The ESPN host added Montreal may be the best fit for the Rays if Tampa Bay is not:
Olbermann, who disclosed that he was a close personal friend of Stu Sternberg, said he believed the Rays' owner was sincere about wanted to keep the team in Tampa Bay.
Then he dropped the most interesting piece of knowledge about the recent developments: Scott Boras spent 3.5 years playing minor-league ball for the St. Petersburg Cardinals.
I do think he's right about Montreal. Those exhibition games should be very closely monitored. Olbermann didn't even mention one of the biggest pluses in that market, which is the number of corporate head offices for large companies. Potentially a lot of corporate dollars on the table there.
