don't think there is anything wrong with it. They would have to build a new stadium that is legit. That stadium they play in is a band box. Homers out that shit left and right.
Also, it might pose a problem just like in Montreal, with people not going to see the game. Montreal they don't give a shit and just don't show up. In PR the people would go but they just don't have the funds to afford to go to the games. It's a catch 22, move them to PR or stay in Montreal either way the seats aren't going to be filled. Probably a little more in PR than Montreal, but I say move them to Washington DC.

And even if they did go, I don't think that they could charge as much so the team wouldn't pull as much revenue as the other teams.

exactly. they would have to charge less for tickets which would drive revenue down. more people would go but they would either break even or lose $$$$.
shitty situation for that team. they are owned by MLB they have to make a decision on that soon.

PR does deserve a team great place to play with people that love baseball. played there during college, fields are beutiful and they players are good.

Where do you guys think they should end up. Portland would be cool I think. They should change the team name too. My favorite sports name is the Blazers anyways so that would be cool....Johnnie Blaze KIIIIIIID
