MAILBAG EPISODE!!

-I don't want to undermine how devastating it would be for our area to lose the Rays, but I will be a die hard fan of this franchise whether they play in TB, Nashville or on Pluto. Your thoughts?

-Any insight on Chris Latvala's comments?

-Thanks for doing this but I spent my weekend reading about the 2028 stadium that will « never » exist and realized that it could be the end of my Rays.

So, no question today for me… just hope that people in charge can find a solution.

Let us know what you think in the comments!

Stu Sternberg made some comments that have not landed well within the fanbase regarding the stadium deal. “Last month, the County Commission upended our ballpark agreement by not approving their bonds, as they promised to do,” team owner Stuart Sternberg said. “That action sent a clear message that we had lost the county as a partner.

“The future of baseball in Tampa Bay became less certain after that vote.”

“..It’s a confluence of events and without the minds here coming together, (relocation) is not an unlikely conclusion.” Why has there been lack of communication between the Rays and government? Will this have negative repercussions on the stadium deal with City Council? Is baseball ‘all but dead’ in the Tampa Bay region?Let us know what you think in the comments!
