After the devastating damage to Tropicana Field following Hurricane Milton, there is still uncertainty over where the Tampa Bay Rays will play home games during the 2025 season.

However, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said on an episode of The Varsity podcast that he's hoping the team can remain in the Tampa area.

"We're hopeful that we can figure out something in [the Tampa Bay area] for them and that the repairs can be done in a way that allows them to resume playing," Manfred said, per the Associated Press.
