Ken Rosenthal and Chandler Rome of The Athletic reported the Rays have drawn interest from local businessman Dan Doyle Jr., who would keep the franchise in Tampa, and other groups that would seek to relocate the franchise.
It's unclear if current owner Stuart Sternberg wants to sell. The Athletic report indicated the "primary focus" of Sternberg is to land a $1.2 billion stadium in St. Petersburg or Tampa. Sternberg has been seeking out investors for that project.
