Perhaps most importantly, Sternberg noted that the Rays are willing to cover the
 costs of more than half of a proposed domed stadium in St. Petersburg, with the
 project estimated to cost $1.2 billion in total. The comments give fans a windo
w into what the Rays’ total commitment might look like if a deal is worked out
for the first time while providing an update on the negotiations, which Sternber
g says he is “highly optimistic” about. Topkin notes that a deal could get don
e before the end of the year.

光芒老闆Stu Sternberg願意出超過一半的錢來蓋新的巨蛋球場(預計要12億鎂）

這大概會超過6億美金

而他對於目前進度感到相當樂觀，有可能年底前能搞定


Such a deal would seemingly leave the Rays owing over $600MM for the stadium, wh
ich Topkin notes would open in 2028, the year following the expiration of Tampa
’s lease at Tropicana Field. Sternberg says that the club has been seeking inve
stors to raise the necessary funds in exchange for a stake in the team. Topkin a
dds that those discussions have been the catalyst for inquiries regarding the po
ssibility of a sale of th entire team, and Sternberg has not shut those offers d
own entirely.

Regarding the possibility of selling the team, Sternberg told Topkin that he doe
sn’t intend on selling and expects to remain the club’s principal owner. That
said, Sternberg expressed a willingness to listen to offers, saying that “when
you’re talking about people raising potentially hundreds of millions of dollars
, they’re going, ‘Well, maybe we can buy the whole damn thing.’ So they take
a run at you.” Sternberg likened his approach to inquiries regarding the team t
o that of his front office regarding the club’s players, saying that “if you w
ant to make an offer, I always listen” but adding that no deal is in the works
despite the club receiving plenty of offers over the years.

但如果有報價他願意聽


Sternberg added that he has no intentions of moving the team, though he did simu
ltaneously indicate that without a new stadium agreement the Rays would likely b
e on the move, explaining that he would sell the team if the club fails to reach
 a new stadium agreement in the Tampa Bay area and that he would expect a hypoth
etical new owner to explore relocation for the team following the expiration of
the club’s current lease in 2027. Fortunately for Rays fans, that eventuality s
eems unlikely to come to fruition as things stand. Sternberg describes the negot
iations with St. Petersburg as “moving along at a very nice pace” and says tha
t he “feel[s] pretty good” about where the talks are at with just under four m
onths left in the year.

也沒有想把光芒搬家的意願

如果最終談不成新球場，Sternberg就會選擇把光芒賣了

由下一個老闆決定球隊去留

但目前和市府的交涉過程相當良好


看來快談好了，那接下來就是要處理擴隊了吧
