The 'Dreamers' at least sounds better than the 'Transplanted Sox/Yankees Fans'

Haven't we figured out that MLB franchises don't work out in Florida yet?

A third team in Florida would seem like the not best idea

Pat Williams tried all the way back in 1990 to get an expansion team, the Sunrays. They were 1 of 6 finalists for the 93 expansion.

Ain't happening as long as Tampa has a team. Also, any team named Dreamers should be owned by former pro wrestler Tommy Dreamer.

What about moving Tampa Bay to Tallahassee ? A northern and central or western Florida city should help Miami . And Tallahassee could be called Florida Explorers - or if people want to light a fire under others .... Florida Rebels ....... since Tallahassee was the only Confederate Capital east of the Mississippi not captured by Northern (Yankee) forces during Civil War .
Think -- Rebels and Yankees could battle every year !

2. W/problems already stemming from "Braves" & "Indians", ain't no way the MLB would allow a team nickname to pay homage to the Confederacy

As I hinted at in my previous post, Jacksonville should have gotten the second Flurduh franchise. It's far enough from Miami so as not to interfere with its fanbase and could draw fans from both north Flurduh and south Jawja. Tallahassee's location is okay but it doesn't have the population base.
