    Even if this was a good idea, the players union would never agee to it.

    The Rays believe they could build a cheaper, roofless stadium in St. Pete if they can spend the hottest Florida months in Montreal instead. Cost could drop to $600 million, rather than $900mil to $1 billion.

    One thing to add: Per sources, Rays, MLB recognize they would need to compensate players through tax equalization, housing allowances and possibly additional money. Union does not comment on hypotheticals, but still does not figure to be enthused by two-city plan.
