Marlins' management flirted publicly with San Antonio officials last week during the team's opening series in Houston, but while both parties would like to move quickly it doesn't appear the relationship will lead to marriage anytime soon. With a less-than-sellout crowd expected for today's home opener -- team officials are estimating 25,000 to 30,000 -- questions about the team's future linger, as do roadblocks to both staying and moving. Team President David Samson says his focus is still to remain in South Florida in a new baseball-only stadium, but while talks continue with Miami-Dade County and the city of Hialeah, no deal is "palpable," he said. Samson said talks will continue with San Antonio and other cities -- no additional visits are planned -- to ensure the team has a place to play when the final option year of its Dolphin Stadium lease expires in 2010. But for the Marlins to do more than contemplate a move, they must have Major League Baseball's permission to relocate.
