The Rays are no longer planning on moving to Tampa. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said on Thursday that St. Petersburg remains a possibility for a new stadium location.
Manfred addressed the Rays' stadium issues at the quarterly owners meeting and said that he thinks "the focus is on St. Petersburg" for the league's officials and owners.
"We are still committed to the region and would like to see a solution,'' Manfred said, per the Tampa Bay Times' Marc Topkin. "Certainly St. Petersburg is an alternative. It may be that there's another opportunity on the Tampa side at some point in the process.
