The Bucs should resist this with everything they got. If the team wants to build attendance, they should fight all proposals which take them away from the locals or have them playing at odd hours when the locals can't or won't tune in.
Baseball is a serial drama. The more episodes you miss, the less you enjoy the ones you catch. And, just as important for a team whose payroll is tied to attendance, the less you look forward to the next one. The Pirates have to find ways to get the locals planning their days around the ballgame. Sending the team to San Juan for a "homestand" or two is not going to help.
And didn't they learn last year that the Bucs are no great draw in Puerto Rico?
