Personally, I think MLB ought to move out of Florida. Florida co-owns spring training with Arizona. Even the more successful Marlins have never been able to attract the crowds needed to support a MLB team. Arizona, at least, has an entertaining ballpark.
Florida just is not the right market for a summertime sport. No knock on Florida, just a fact.
If MLB wants to contract or move a team, Tampa is the first place they should look. Maybe they could move to Cuba when Fidel takes his long overdue dirt nap. Other possibilities are Portland, Oregon, Salt Lake City or Gander, Newfoundland.

...Deviled eggs are NEXT!...Are Christians allowed to eat deviled eggs?
And just how does one "devil" an egg? Do you yell curses at it as you cook it???

The ladies serve ‘em every First Sunday at our pot-luck luncheon. You would probably call us fundamentalist Christians.
They’ve never ‘repeated’ on me, so I guess they’re OK!

That was why supported the ouster or demotion of the former ninth [full] planet in the Solar System--because of the name.
What sort of people would use such names, anyway?

Maybe by drop’n the devil name from the team, the team figures they can save money on printing, marketing, etc and use the new found revenue to bribe city and state officals to build them a new ball park with a retractable roof.

Even the more successful Marlins have never been able to attract the crowds needed to support a MLB team. I've never been to Florida in the summer but I have been there in October.The heat and humidity in October was almost unbearable and it can only be **much** worse during the season.At least Tampa Bay has a domed stadium.IMO,Florida,Texas and Arizona are the worst possible placed to play outdoors baseball during the summer.
