Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 3043691, member: 1969"] The big problem in Tampa is backing out of the lease that extends until 2027. The termination penalties are absurd at what I have heard as between $100-$200 million annually of the remaining term. From what I heard from Eric Macramella (a lawyer who comments on sports) there is a specific clause in the agreement with further penalties if they move some games to another city for a part of a season. I think baseball is just telling Tampa it's now time to do something and also trying to keep the momentum up and appease fans in Montreal. The two city interim solution will never happen, but that's not really what they are trying to accompish eithher. [/QUOTE]
