This article headline references a hypothetical scenario posed by ESPN’s Buster Olney on Monday afternoon:

Olney draws a parallel between the Miami Marlins and Montreal Expos. He wonders if South Florida’s appetite for baseball will wither much like it did in Quebec, forcing what was the most recent instance of MLB franchise relocation.
