The Tampa Bay Rays have responded to the letter from Pinellas County Commission chair Kathleen Peters, which insisted the Rays must either indicate in writing that they intend to move forward under the Agreement as executed, or provide a clearer Notice of Termination no later than December 1, 2024.
In the Rays response, President Matt Silverman admits the new stadium deal remains “in effect” as have not formally terminated the new stadium deal, despite their insistence they can no longer afford it both publicly and in writing.
Before getting to the requested response, Silverman first addresses claims made by the Commission that have painted the Rays in a bad light, but fails to bring new information to the table.
