With the $1.7 billion offer for the Rays from Patrick Zalupski's ownership group formally accepted and finalized, a new era with the franchise has officially begun.

The Rays certainly aren't the only team to have recent ownership changes, so we talked with Orioles podcaster Josh Sroka & beat writer Andy Kostka about what the David Rubenstein era has been like so far.

This is not a drill, folks.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL

Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reported today that all other 29 MLB owners have officially approved the sale of the Tampa Bay Rays to the Patrick Zalupski-led ownership group as the formal sale of the team is expected to be finalized later this week.

The Steinbrenner Field Era has ended, the Rays won both the home opener and home finale, they finished above .500 at home and now, new ownership will be put in place by season's end as a new era of the Rays has dawned upon us.

It's almost over for the Rays, in large part due to lose five of sevela games over the last few weeks to the Cleveland Guardians.

A seven-game winning streak was sandwiched in the middle, but sitting around .500, losing 3 of 4 to a team with 20 games left does NOT help a team's playoff chances.
