Rays’ on-again, off-again talks with Hillsborough, Tampa are back on with a caveat
October 4, 2019 - The Tampa Bay Rays can talk with officials in Tampa and in Hillsborough County about moving to the eastern side of Tampa Bay, as long as the talks are about 2028 and beyond, per the terms of the use agreement, a spokesman for Mayor Rick Kriseman said. Earlier discussions between the Rays and Hillsborough County fell apart in December, after the commissioner of Major League Baseball said the framework for a deal lacked specific details needed to understand the proposal.
