The Rays averaged 9,000 a game for a 100 win team. They’re favorites to go to the World Series and only sell 65% of the seats. I don’t care how bad the stadium is or where it’s located. This is pathetic.
The owner is already talking about split city residence.** When MLB says no and there isn’t a new stadium in 2028 I’m guessing the Rays pack up and leave completely with total support from MLB leadership and ownership.
** Only a desperate free agent would agree to live in and pay for two cities in the same season. A player with kids likely wouldn’t consider it all.
