$2.3 billion stadium

$1 billion in public funds

The Rays are asking for a LOT from multiple different revenue/tax sources to get a new stadium done in Tampa, but it will be up to Hillsborough County & the City of Tampa on if those funds will be allocated.

Either way, it's a big ask at a crucial time for the Rays as they look to not squander recent momentum built, hoping to put enough pressure on the area to pull in their direction.

If you would've told us that the Rays would have the worst defense in baseball through the first 12 games of the season, we would laugh in your face.

Turns out that's completely right because the Rays have been abysmal defensively and in the bullpen as they welcome the New York Yankees to town this weekend.
