Great news.
This will be good for both clubs. It will force the Orioles to compete for fans and by so doing force them to put a more competitive team on the field. That will draw more ticket buyers and TV viewers.
And the Expos aer clearly better off in DC than continuing the bad situation in Montreal. I am sad for the fans of Montreal, such as they are, but they weren't exactly supporting the club.
I was listening to Radio Canada last night. One commentator reminded people that Montreal was on track to the World
Series, then league players went on strike. Montreal's management started selling off the good players.
The implication being that a successful year at that time could have spurred interest.
