The Tampa Bay Times reports that the Tampa Bay Rays’ sister-city project between St. Petersburg and Montreal has been dropped by Major League Baseball (MLB).
Rays owner Stuart Sternberg is scheduled to meet with the media at 1 p.m.
Sternberg recently said that this project, which his organization has been working on for two and a half years, “was the only possible solution” to keep Major League Baseball in the Tampa/St. Petersburg area.
This decision will force the Rays’ management to look for a full-time home, something they have tried to do unsuccessfully in the past, including ixjmtzywn 2008 and 2018.
The team still has a lease to play its home games at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg until the conclusion of the 2027 season.
