Bleacher report has multiple sources saying the owners vote was unanimous…?

Well from everything I’m reading there’s no official statement on the count of the vote, just someone “with knowledge of the meetings.”

lol @ bleacher report
bravesfan88
Lol…There’s your problem, never quote or count on information provided by bleacher report..They have received a little more credibility, as of late, but still I wouldn’t trust them…

I can understand the Rays’ position, but the over all agreement is a win for the owners. If he wants a hard cap, it’s not going to happen. He’s already getting compensatory picks, protected picks, and a good deal of revenue sharing. Maybe his focus needs to be there–more subsidies from the bigger market teams. Rays are in a tough spot–it’s up to the league to figure out how to help them.

That’s the key… Until top owners decide they want to subsidize bottom owners nothing is going to change.

I feel TB needs help from MLB to get out of St. Pete. There attendance is horrible! It it can’t help with their ability to spend and help the team.

Florida in general is a dead baseball town. I think both the marlins and the rays ought to go somewhere else that could bring attendance: Portland, SLC, New Orleans, Las Vegas, etc, etc could all use a team and Florida has 2 that no one appreciates.

I agree just leave the one team in Florida and get Tampa Bay somewhere else
jdgoat
Or actually put Tampa bay in Tampa bay
MatthewBaltimore23
Exactly. Attendance would be better there.

There is no way they’re ever going to have the cash flow to consistently compete.

They passed the vote to let them look elsewhere at least, was a huge step last year compared to previous years where city council denied them the oppurtinity.
