“We anticipate this year spending more money than we did last year. We anticipated that, we expect that.” , said Sternberg when asked by local media about the Rays’ plans this offseason. What he didn’t say was how much they were willing to spend.
After reading what turned out to be a quite a revealing interview that touched on the decision making process of the front office along with the increasingly toxic Montreal topic, I was left rather excited for what the rest of the offseason holds.
According to Marc Topkin’s article, Sternberg explained that the Tampa Bay Rays have a rolling budget that fluctuates between 40-80M for any given year.
