TAMPA - Hillsborough County Administrator Mike Merrill says the next move in the effort to build a Ybor City ballpark belongs to the Tampa Bay Rays.
Merrill sent a memo to county commissioners late Friday outlining the framework of a possible deal.
On Monday, he said the county needs to know what the Rays think. Do they approve or disapprove? Do they have a counter-proposal? What do they want to change and what do they want to keep?
"We're kind of at that point," Merrill said. "Our mission was to build a framework for a deal and this is the best we could come up with.
