ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Turns out, Rays fans are not the only ones showing a renewed interest in recent happenings in and around Tropicana Field.
The Athletic reported Sunday that the Rays are getting inquiries from prospective ownership groups that might have an interest in moving the team out of the market, as well as Tampa businessman Dan Doyle Jr.
The Rays did not respond to specific details in the story, which was based on anonymous sources, but owner Stuart Sternberg did issue a statement that aimed for a more positive tone.
