The search for a new stadium site for the Tampa Bay Rays is heating up again. Major League Baseball commissioner Robert Manfred is on the campaign trail praising Stu Sternberg as an owner.
However, he is threatening relocation of the Rays if plans for a new stadium are not finalized soon. Meanwhile, Stu Sternberg has actually spent time in St. Petersburg playing good cop and sounding encouraging about talks with regional leaders.
The Tampa Bay Times has caught wind of all of this activity and has printed extensive articles by the paper’s editorial board and sports writer turned columnist John Romano.
