00:00Dude, this is crazy.
00:01This whole Rays Canada thing, we got some new info here.
00:0499.5 QIK, it's Mark and Melanie, Tampa Bay's morning crew.
00:08I want to go back to this Rays.
00:09I give this guy a lot of credit yesterday.
00:10He showed up at the press conference, and this is Stu Stormberg, the owner of the Rays,
00:14saying, hey, we really want to be a dual-city team, half in Tampa Bay, half in Canada.
00:19This guy shows up to the press conference.
00:21I am me.
00:22I will pack the stadiums.
00:23I will sell all the tickets.
00:25Look at the sunshine.
00:26It's beautiful.
00:27Look at the seashore.
00:28It's beautiful.
00:29This is the most beautiful place in America to live.
00:31I need to do my baseball team.
00:33Yeah, he's fired up, man.
00:35Got to love a guy like this, you know, especially with a classic sport like baseball, a vintage
00:41sport.
00:42This is an American, iconic sport.
00:44You got to love a guy like this showing up, and he called them a bunch of sellouts, you
00:49know, and he's just like, forget it.
00:50And he said, I'll sell the tickets.
00:53Got to love a guy like this, man.
00:54Yeah, they should hire him in sales.
00:56I'm telling you, man.
00:57Just a guy who's fired up.
00:59I just love it.
01:00I know we got techs pouring in.
01:02Oh my gosh.
01:03So many.
01:04Somebody asked, are the players going to have to get dual citizenship, or will they have
01:09to give up their U.S. citizenship in order to play in Canada for half the year?
01:13No, you get a work visa.
01:15Another one.
01:15We're in Florida.
01:16The open stadium idea will not work.
01:18Think of how many times it's rained.
01:20Hold on a second.
01:21That would be something, though, if part of the deal is you have to give up your U.S.
01:24citizenship to play there.
01:26No.
01:27People would be like, I'm not doing it.
01:29The name of the new team should be called the B-trade.
01:34Ooh.
01:34B-trade.
01:35Yeah.
01:35And then lastly, they can move the team.
01:37I'm so sick of hearing about the stadium crap.
01:40No taxpayer is going to support paying for the stadium and be able to see a team only part
01:45of the year.
01:46Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
01:49All right.
01:50Listen.
01:50People are fired up.
01:51I just got this leak.
01:52I just got this leak.
01:53I want you to go to the Mark and Melanie Facebook page.
01:55I got a guy who knows a guy who knows this other guy, and he texts me.
02:00He's like, hey, you know we found they already have a new logo ready to go.
02:04If the dual city thing gets approved, then I was like, no, shoot it to me.
02:07He's like, can't say where it came from.
02:09I'm like, can you just be the guy that knows the guy?
02:11And he's like, totally.
02:12I'm putting it up right.
02:13Look at this, Melanie.
02:13It's the first time you've seen it.
02:15That is not real.
02:17Are you serious?
02:18That's what he said.
02:20Oh, my God.
02:21I'm posting it right now on the Mark and Melanie Facebook page.
02:23That is crazy.
02:25Dude, if this is the new logo.
02:26There is no way that's the new logo.
02:31Can't believe everything on the internet.
02:32Hold on.
02:33Let me get this right.
02:34You're trying to split your team between Tampa Bay and Montreal, but there's no way
02:37this is a new logo.
02:38There could be a possibility.
02:40There's totally a possibility that this is a new logo.
02:42I'm posting it right now on the Mark and Melanie Facebook page.
02:44Go check it out.
02:46That's a problem when these teams do this.
02:48They try to be smarter than their fans, but things get leaked.
02:51Things, you know, it's like yesterday.
02:52They're like, well, who's going to host the playoffs?
02:54They're like, well, where are you going to play?
02:57You know what I mean?
02:58Yeah.
02:58You got to have some stuff ironed out.
03:00People are going to ask questions.
03:01So we talked about splitting.
03:03Like if you're splitting between here and Montreal, would there be a thing where are you split?
03:08Like, what if you bought a hot dog?
03:11Would you have to split your hot dog?
03:12What if you had to have a hot dog and then someone else could just go, what about splitting
03:16beer?
03:17Like you buy a beer, you have a hat, but then somebody else can buy your other half.
03:19It could be a funny video.
03:20I will say that.
03:22There's a split angle to this, right?
03:24Because you're splitting.
03:25He called it sister cities.
03:26You're splitting.
03:27There's a lot of things there.
03:28People are not happy about it.
03:30That's for sure.
