dfwabel Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Bumping this as opposed to placing it in the Offseason or Angels thread since I'm not sure if crossposting in threads is prohibited. Hillsborough County officials are again willing to talk Rays stadium Quote A day after St. Petersburg's mayor said the Rays' idea to split the season with Montreal before 2028 was dead, Hillsborough negotiators pledged to pitch another deal. As the team's general manager prepared to pitch to new players at baseball's winter meetings, Hillsborough's top negotiator, Commissioner Ken Hagan was getting into his own kind of batter's box. "After the winter meetings that are coming up here shortly, we will sit down with the team and start to have serious discussions about a ballpark in Tampa," said Hagan. Though he said he wasn't overly thrilled about a split-season idea, Hagan said it might be a way to start a dialogue, especially because the ballpark would likely be small. He considers the proposed Ybor City site - explored last year - the team's first choice. "I am still hopeful that we will be able to work out a deal for the team to be here for the entire season," said Hagan. "If not, a shared-cities concept should be something we should at least consider." Now, regardless of site, in the last year Hillsborough County and the City of Tampa have been alerted to something troubling...there are at least two black cemeteries which were built over in the mid-1900's and the bodies were not exhumed and relocated. The first one was confirmed in July as a public housing complex was built on top of it in the 1950's. The second site was confirmed in November where a high school has sat since opening in 1960. And there is a former county worker trying to name ALL the sites. Ybor site and the current Jefferson HS property, which was often thought of as a parcel for stadium need to be scanned ASAP. Both parcels are fairly close to the Robles Park. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, then get the F out. Hmm, that’s weird. I didn’t know Sacramento had a Coliseum Complex. Also, they can’t get rid of the Marlins. What would Billy Gil do then? 5 Quote On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

We won't rest until we have all 5 major sports in Charlotte! (I'm only slightly joking.) I would love to see an MLB in Charlotte one day, and at this point it seems like more of a "when, rather than if" and Charlotte would be the top relocation destination for the Rays... if we hadn't pumped millions into a non-expandable minor league stadium. Oh well. It'll happen someday. The bigger problem is getting the Canes down to Charlotte... Quote the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infrared41 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 On topic, any relocation by MLB should be to a city that has no more than one other “big 4” team. Ideally, the relocated MLB team would be the only team in town. MLB needs to come to grips with the fact that it doesn’t have the status it used to. Teams aren’t going to do well trying to compete in new markets that have established NFL and NBA teams. Quote All roads lead to Dollar General.
