I ended the fiasco that was major league baseball in Florida.

I moved the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, through a clause in the contract for the stadium that allowed MLB to move the team, so long as a team was playing at Tropicana Field. Thus, the team's AAA will play there (which is likely an upgrade), and the Devil Rays will move to Indiana and become the Indiana Aeros.

The name was chosen because the little mighty mouse dude was like rising and showing like he was forging a new era and well..this team needs that.

The Florida Marlins, against my better judgement for a stadium in Orlando, were moved to Portland, Maine to become the New England Whitecaps. With Montreal losing its team, this club fills a void and draws from fans in the Northern part of the US and Canadian fans who were thrilled at the moving of the team there.
