Fort Myers is already home to the Red Sox and Twins for spring training bringing the Nationals here would be the third MLB team for the area

The Nationals appear to be taking tentative steps toward moving their
spring training home from Space Coast Stadium to Fort Myers, Fla.

According to this tweet from Peter Gammons of the MLB Network and
MLB.com, the Nationals have given Lee County their plans for a reconstruction
of City of Palms Park, the former spring base of the Red Sox. Boston moved into
JetBlue Park this spring, leaving their old facility empty and with an unsure
future.

The key will be whether Lee County – already home to the Red Sox and Twins for
spring training – can afford upgrades at Hammond Stadium in the Lee County
Sports Complex, the home of the Twins, and the proposed alterations the Nationals
want at City of Palms Park. If that happens, the Nationals could begin training
there in 2014.  www.univacus.com Continue reading “Fort Myers could get another Major League Baseball Team” »
