Since the Florida Marlins will be evicted out of Dolphin Stadium by the 2010 season, and not certain about a stadium deal in Miami (retractable roof stadium being the major part of the deal), the ownership (Jeff Loria) has been talking to the mayors of San Antonio and Las Vegas for possible relocation. Other cities being thrown out are Portland, OR; Charlotte, NC; Monterrey, Mexico; northern New Jersey & Norfolk, VA though the Marlins would like to stay in Florida.

If a team relocates the most likely candidate right now would be the Florida Marlins. As to where that is hard to say right now but some possibilities would be Portland (the frontrunner for any team moving now) and some other areas that could court a team might be Las Vegas (the NBA All-Star game might have broken down the stigma of playing there) Virginia (they have put together a package in the past...wanted the Expos)or maybe even New Orleans (seems like the longest of longshots though). The why is easy, there is no fan support in Miami for the Marlins and they have a terrible TV deal so there is a very poor cash flow and no chance to build and keep together a winning team.

I agree that it is clearly the Marlins. Where they'll go, I'm not sure, I can't see a baseball team being the first to test the Vegas market, I think it is best suited to the NBA.
They may go to Portland, Ore. They seem rather interested and it is a market without an NFL team so they could get fully behind an MLB franchise. Vermont has also been banded about but I think Portland is the obvious safe choice and Vegas if Bud is feeling risky.

certainly the nba is the final who could circulate to las vegas acording to david stein. they'll on no account get an nba group. the nhl has certainly appeared at vegas and in a participant survey via espn extra gamers picked vegas because of the fact the subsequent spot over hamilton and winnipeg. i'm not partial to relocation in any respect, became very unhappy to be certain the sonics circulate and clearly disillusioned on the prospect of our circulate. although, i dont like having 2 communities in the comparable section. like the clippers and lakers, kings and geese, dodgers and angels( definite all my examples are from la.) not asserting any of those communities could or will circulate, in basic terms asserting it would not make experience once you've gotten basically lots of communities to have 2 in the comparable marketplace. via the way the avalanche and broncos are in denver colorado. how does utah suport them? the only professional utah group is the jazz.

i've only ever lived in baseball cities, detroit and chicago. but next year i am moving to fort myers florida. it's spring training heaven with the twins and bosox there, but ft myers is 2 and a half hours north of miami and 2 and a half hours south of tampa/st pete. i'd prefer to drive south to see the marlins, so hopefully they don't move. i don't think icould handle being a devilray fan. i'd go to those games to see the opponents only.

Yankees - across the street, because they are building a new stadium.
