or re-locate them to Vancouver, BC.

The Miami area doesn't deserve to have a team. They barely support the Marlins, even though they have won 2 WS titles in their 14 year existence. Also, the Tampa Bay D-Rays should be re-located to Charlotte, NC.

Saly, you Freaking idiot. First of all, the National League has too many teams, 16 versus 14 in the American League. The Marlins would switch leagues and become the Portland Beavers or something. not the Marlins, anyway, a name will be easy to do. Portland is a big metro area. They would build a retractable roof stadium there and be a in the AL West and then there will be 5 teams in the AL West you freaking idiot. If you want to keep 16 teams in the NL and 14 teams in the AL, fine, the easy way to do that is to, re-locate the Tampa Bay D-Rays from the AL east to the NL east and bring them to Charlotte NC, and bring the Marlins to Portland OR you moron.

That sounds like a good idea. It would make the Mariner games me & my hubby go to more fun!

I would like that Idea, the Florida Marlins changing their Name to the Portland Beavers, Trust me the Folks up there Can Build a New Ballpark faster and better then anyone of those Fools in Miami, and Attendance at PGE Stadium would be Four Times the Amount Currently in at Pro Player Stadium plus its an Actual Ballpark, so that will work too.

Either Portland, or Vegas. Then switch the team to the AL West, and move Pittsburgh back into the NL East. Voila! Balanced divisions throughout MLB.

Desperately.
I think the Marlins should more to Portlantd. Portland Marlins fits in perfectly.
The Devil Rays should move on Long Island so their would be three teams just like their was with the Yankees, Giants, and Dodgers.
The Rockies should move to Las Vegas.
That would all fit in perfectly.

no. that is a terrible idea. the marlins need a dome... its too hot... they have fans, but people don't want to bake in that sun at the ballpark.
Marlins are a tropical saltwater fish. Portland is inland...
the marlins are in the NL.. they wouldn't rival Seattle... they wouldn't see each other in the playoffs either...
if you have to move the marlins, Vegas is the worst spot fr a sports team. I'd put em in Buffalo.... not in PDX... it would mess up the divisions... Buffalo has die hard sports fans... PDX has a bunch of tweekers, bums, and psudo intellectuals...
Vancouver are you kidding me?

You made some good points, only problem you cant have 15 teams in each league. That would be out of balance.

Sounds good to me. Only if they are renamed the Beavers, though. That would make for some amusing sports page headlines. . . .

i like this question thanks for bringing it up.. the fish should move to portland, or at least anywhere that fans would go see a game.
expect the only downfall is the long plane rides
