Ppl who live there say that The Trop has no drainage system on the field. It rains lots there. It’s gonna be flooded if they don’t fix it soon. 

Correct. It was designed as an indoor only facility, so no drainage.

I'm happy for the Rays fans who will continue to be able to attend home games but it's going to be a mess with rainouts and heat. I assume that the Tarpons will also use the facility next season too? Scheduling nightmare.

Insurance though. And, the City of Tampa must provide them a facility to play in, per the agreement. 

What about building a new 35000 seat stadium in Montreal & moving the team there? The team could use Olympic Stadium in the interim. Are the Bronfman's still involved in trying to bring a MLB team to Montreal?

The Big Owe is not available they are pumping another 870 m into the place and replacing the roof which apparently will take 4 years to replace😁

There is little to no interest in bringing another team to Canada right now. No expansion until everything is sorted with the As and Rays, for sure. They need leverage on the cities. 

Can't see anyone building a domed stadium in Montreal right now, either.

Tampa Bays Rays will play the 2025 season at Steinbrenner Field formally known as Legends Field, Yankees will pocket 15 m. for the honour. Depending on what the Government does they may never play in Tropicana ever again

Oakland is available :D

2 MLB teams will be playing in minor league parks this up coming season

Yeah, not a good situation. The As are a gong show and the MLB should never have allowed it to get this bad, but the Rays is genuinely sad.

The Rays have more problems getting shovels in the ground for a new park. 

Yeah, looks like they're going to have to move. Because we know that billionaires won't spend any of their own money.

I guess the government has 3 options, fix Tropicana and forget about a new park still might leave, fix Tropicana and find another way to finance a new park or don't do anything and just let them go,

I wont be surprised if the Mets or Red Sox sign Juan Soto, he wants the biggest contract in MLB and the Yankees don't look like they are going to do that.

Not surprised it looks like Juan Soto is staying in New York but not with the Yankees. 

Did he decide ? They said maybe today.
