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.
