Tampa Bay Rays owner Stuart Sternberg remains focused – on splitting the franchise’s seasons between St. Petersburg and Montreal.

The Rays’ lease at Tropicana Field ends after the 2027 season and a two-city approach, with the first half of a season being played in the Tampa area and the second half taking place in Montreal from 2028, is “the only option,” Sternberg told The Tampa Bay Times. 

If the Cleveland Indians continue to cut payroll, this might be an option to make more money and compete in the future. Orrrrrr, The Dolan’s could just sell the team!

There’s a new dress (code) attire in the NBA. Coaches are NO longer required to wear a suit & tie during games. Calling it business casual, the new rule will not allow sweat pants and players not participating in games will have to follow as well. Still hard to believe that managers in baseball still wear uniforms.
