Orlando might be getting a new MLB team called the Dreamers

**2daBank** · 11-20-19, 04:51 PM

Can’t wait to fade your plays on them.

Florida already has 2 other MLB teams no one cares about.

Was thinking same. Surely much better options. Like Montreal. Feel for them having to watch nats win. Expos always had good fan support from what I recall.

Doesn’t seem to help the other 2 teams.

Everyone thought today would be about them trying to land the Rays.

It made sense as they have no shot at a new team because the teams in Miami and Tampa ate already failing.

The hockey teams are far more popular here.

Unless Miami decides to move to Orlando.

Hman I love St Pete and am down there a decent amount, but I am in Indy more...I wouldn’t be mad at Indy stealing the Rays but pretty sure there is 0.0000001% chance. Indianapolis Indians draw great for an AAA team. I have family in Gulfport, I love Fergs’ and Caddy’s

Can we talk about how unappealing and generic this logo is? Will all players be white? Skull & Bones homage, but seriously?

True but you really think a mlb team could have enough support like that? Hard to say how many ppl going to Disney world would go to a game? Suppose if they get 10k or so locals who devoted them throw tourist on top they do better than the other 2 fla teams.

**MinnesotaFats** · 11-20-19, 05:20 PM

Indi got that great AAA set up there for Pitt.

Good business meeting tourism and hotel biz

Nice downtown

But not sure population has discretionary income

Good point..
Hard enough to get a fan base for an expansion team..
That was really the only reasoning I could come up with for a team there and not a bigger metro..
Don't know what the pop is for that area..
If I'm not mistaken, isn't there a minor league team there?

Sometimes I hear the theory cities like Indy or stl can only support few pro teams. I think it kinda bs, cards and blues both huge draws and rams stopped getting support cause they were fukkin awful forever, they were a tough ticket when they were greatest show on turf., apparently we gettin mls soccer soon, whoopy!!! I hear we a soccer town but not I. lol

**Buckandadime** · 11-20-19, 05:44 PM

We had a USFL team!!!
Been a minor league city forever..

The Rays deserve a good home

The owner has been very patient with Tampa fans.

I don't blame him if he finally moves them

You'll be sorry next season regardless.

Baseball needs to contract, not expand.

**cincinnatikid513** · 11-20-19, 07:05 PM

they should just combine the marlins and rays and move them to orlando

**Razorbacks1** · 11-20-19, 07:19 PM

Does Orlando have the copyright for stupid nicknames? Magic now Dreamers. Might as well call em Tinkerbells or Fairies. They must be “dreaming” of a MLB team because it won’t happen.

**daneblazer** · 11-20-19, 07:52 PM

Terrible idea

**hostile takeover** · 11-20-19, 07:56 PM

That's just turrible
