The MLB Owners lockout of players during negotiations for the next Collective Bargaining Agreement continues, which means Spring Training is now unlikely to start on time, which will potentially delay the season. Despite that dire outlook, there is some Rays news! And most of it stadium related:
- This morning we published a report that Hillsborough County is projected to have $194 million available for a Rays stadium, given current tax structures. The article lays out where another $300 million could come from in the future.
- The Rays are getting serious about moving Spring Training to Pasco County.
