I'm not sure of the lay out at City of Palms, but I understand that there's about a mile or two between the park and the minor league fields.  With the Red Sox leaving that complex, I suppose there is time for a major renovation of City of Palms, but that still leaves a long walk / ride to the practice fields. I don't know if there is enough space on the minor league fields to build a stadium with parking and practice fields.  Orlando would be closer to Tampa Bay and still be within distance of the East Coast teams, so I'd think that'd be preferred to Fort Myers, but the Fort is aggressive, wants a 3d team, and has hosted the Nats managment several times.
