$2.3 billion stadium

$1 billion in public funds

The Rays are asking for a LOT from multiple different revenue/tax sources to get a new stadium done in Tampa, but it will be up to Hillsborough County & the City of Tampa on if those funds will be allocated.

Either way, it's a big ask at a crucial time for the Rays as they look to not squander recent momentum built, hoping to put enough pressure on the area to pull in their direction.

If you would've told us that the Rays would have the worst defense in baseball through the first 12 games of the season, we would laugh in your face.

Turns out that's completely right because the Rays have been abysmal defensively and in the bullpen as they welcome the New York Yankees to town this weekend.

This is not a drill, folks.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL

Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reported today that all other 29 MLB owners have officially approved the sale of the Tampa Bay Rays to the Patrick Zalupski-led ownership group as the formal sale of the team is expected to be finalized later this week.

The Steinbrenner Field Era has ended, the Rays won both the home opener and home finale, they finished above .500 at home and now, new ownership will be put in place by season's end as a new era of the Rays has dawned upon us.

It's almost over for the Rays, in large part due to lose five of sevela games over the last few weeks to the Cleveland Guardians.

A seven-game winning streak was sandwiched in the middle, but sitting around .500, losing 3 of 4 to a team with 20 games left does NOT help a team's playoff chances.
