Yeah, looking at the list above, it's pretty clear that there are essentially no (viable) untapped markets in North America. Some have suggested Mexico, Puerto Rico and a couple other Latin American locales but most people are very dubious on that prospect and for good reason.

So, yes, given the scarcity of landing spots, Montreal looks awfully good. However, even as an old Expos' fan, I'm not sure how successful it would be. I mean, looking at it objectively, how could Montreal compete for free agents? How could they get their young talent to stick around? Would it not just be a repeat of the same old thing from the past? Draft. Develop. Sell. Repeat. That memory is still fresh for many in baseball.
