I don't think there's any chance of a Montreal-Tampa joint team. It just makes zero sense.
If Montreal builds a stadium, they will get a team. Period.
If a new Rays stadium in the Tampa Bay region is builgt, they'll keep the Rays and Montreal will get an expansion team with either Nashville or Portland (whomever can get their stadium deal done)
If Montreal builds a stadium and Tampa does not, then Montreal gets the Rays.
Under no circumstances would a city build a stadium for a half-season, and under no circumstances would a team play half their games in a market of 6 million and half in a market of 2 million. Because that's sheer lunacy for every party.
