    I can't read the article through my firewall at work, but if it essentially says that the subject of the thread is a possibility, I think that'd be really cool.

    Some clips:

    ATLANTA -- An Atlanta businessman is leading a group of investors that are interested in purchasing the Montreal Expos and moving the team to San Juan, Puerto Rico, in 2004.

    Levin said it is too early to comment on the prospects of a team in Puerto Rico.


    "At this point it would be very speculative,'' Levin said.

    Vaughn said he also has talked with government officials in San Juan about the stadium, which would require a major renovation, include doubling its current seating capacity of 20,000.

    Baseball's Opening Day 2001 took place in San Juan when the Toronto Blue Jays played the Texas Rangers at Hiram Bithorn. That game drew fans who paid up to $75 a ticket.
