ORLANDO, Fla. — Rays officials still haven’t gotten any clarity from other major-league owners or top executives during their quarterly meetings about why the plan to split future seasons in Montreal was killed.
While clearly disappointed with the decision and confident the plan would have worked, they have moved on to focus on finding a new full-time stadium home in the Tampa Bay area and say meetings with officials on both sides of the bay have been “great” thus far.
“At the time I had asked (for reasons for the Montreal vote), it was, ‘just a decision by the executive council,’ and it remains the same,” principal owner Stuart Sternberg said Wednesday at the meetings hotel.
