ST. PETERSBURG -- When Commissioner Rob Manfred stopped by St. Petersburg on Wednesday, he made it clear he had "no particular agenda."
"Part of my practice is to try to get out and visit as many of our markets as I can during the course of the year," Manfred said prior to the Blue Jays-Rays contest at Tropicana Field. "I came here from Detroit. I did a similar visit in Detroit yesterday. I've had a great day. I've had a chance to spend some time with [Rays principal owner Stuart] Sternberg, one of our best owners. [We] talked a little bit about what's going on here in Tampa, so it's been a really interesting day for me.
