The St. Petersburg Times reported this morning that the Tampa Bay Devil Rays have informed MLB they are considering a name change.

Marc Topkin’s blog, the Heater, has a thread devoted to user-submitted names.
I point out in that post, as I have pointed out on this very blog (and elsewhere) what I think the name could and should be.
