MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred Pressures Tampa Bay Rays Owner Stu Sternberg to Sell Team Amid Stadium Drama
The Tampa Bay Rays are at the center of a major shakeup as MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred reportedly pressures owner Stu Sternberg to sell the team. This comes amid ongoing drama surrounding the team's stadium situation, with Sternberg facing criticism from other MLB owners for the Rays' lack of progress in securing a new venue.
According to multiple sources, including The New York Times and The Tampa Bay Times, Manfred and other owners have expressed frustration with Sternberg's inability to resolve the stadium issue, which has plagued the Rays for years. The team currently plays at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, a facility widely considered outdated and in need of replacement.
Adding to the pressure, local businessman Bill Edwards has expressed interest in purchasing the Rays and keeping them in St. Pete. Edwards believes he can work with the city to secure a new stadium, offering a potential solution to the ongoing impasse.
As the situation unfolds, the future of the Tampa Bay Rays remains uncertain. With Manfred and other owners pushing for a sale, and local investors like Edwards stepping forward, the coming months could bring significant changes to the franchise and its place in the MLB landscape.
