Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 3377938, member: 27"] I am sure there is an out clause but the Mets bought the Syracuse franchise. Just last year. They have been trying to get a AAA franchise close to NYC since the start of the franchise. Why would they throw that away after a year or two? You can't make money on AAA or AA baseball in Florida. You can't even make money off MLB baseball in Florida. It is in the best interest of MLB teams to have their AAA franchise close by, cheap and easy to do scouting and call ups/send downs. It makes sense to have them play in the same climate. It doesn't make sense to have them play in front of no one in awful humidity and heat all season long. If attendance for the Syracuse Mets is good, it will be very hard for the Mets to move elsewhere. Hopefully that will be the case. [/QUOTE]
