The Tampa Bay Rays informed the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners that the team cannot move forward at the moment with the current deal for a new stadium, which previously looked on track for a 2028 season opening, due to the group's decision to delay votes on the project.
The entire letter, which was signed by team co-presidents Brian Auld and Matt Silverman, can be found via Colleen Wright of the Tampa Bay Times.
The duo said the organization was "saddened and stunned by this unfortunate turn of events" before explaining the team's murky stadium future.
