On this episode of Locked On Rays, we dive into the high-stakes drama surrounding the Tampa Bay Rays' future home. With St. Petersburg council members approved their share of financing earlier this month alongside Pinellas County Commission’s approval from Tuesday (5-2 bonds vote passed). The commission's decision on the stadium bonds has now put all the pressure on the Tampa Bay Rays.

We’ll break the following with WTSP’s Sports Director Evan Closky:

⚾ Why these approvals still might not secure the Rays' commitment.

⚾ The key players in the commission, including Chris Scherer, Dave Eggers, and Chris Latvala, and their pivotal roles in this decision

⚾ Could a competing pitch for a waterfront stadium in Tampa’s Ybor Harbor, made in July 2023, resurface as a viable alternative?

With rising construction costs, looming deadlines, and questions about public funding, the Rays are under pressure to secure a solution. Are they leaning toward Ybor (or elsewhere) or committed to keeping baseball in St. Pete? Tune in as we analyze the political, financial, and community implications of this decision and what it means for the Rays’ future in Tampa Bay.
