There is increasing pressure for the Steuinberg radiology owner to sell Ballclub, in a study that it may retract the stadium deal in Saint Petersburg.
Both MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred and other owners are trying to persuade Sterinberg to unload the team and can take away the league part of the income of the revenue sharing in Rays to try to force his hand, the Athletic said on Sunday.
Many local groups, including one who have relationships with the owner of the former Yanxiz minority Joe Mawlawi, is already interested in trying to buy the team.
Mouloui affirmed his interest in an interview with the Tamb Bay Times.
“Yes, I am leading a group of prominent investors in Tampa Bay who are interested in obtaining the Bay of Tampa. We have collected an incredible team that shares our vision.
He did not reveal who participated in his group, but Athletic stated that the Edward Dibarulo Junior family – which owned San Francisco 49ers in the US Football Association – was also part of the group.
Businessman Tampa Dan Doyle Jr. It is also part of another group interested in radiology, according to the report.
Steernberg did not express their interest in general in selling the team, but Tamba Bay Times stated that the rumors were taking place in both MLB and local business departments.
The current Rays owner, until the end of this month, has a report if he will continue with the new stadium deal in the historic gas factory area in the center of St. Petersburg.
Sternburg has many obligations that must meet by March 31 to the continuation of the stadium plan.
It is said that MLB is looking at some of 60 million dollars of team sharing money on the way if a long-term plan is not discovered-whether it was selling the team or building a new stadium-.
Mouloui said he wanted to continue the current project planned for a new stadium in Saint -Pitt if he takes a group of ownership of the team.
“What I can say now is: The team has plans to stay in St. Petersburg, and we are completely committed to building on the great work that the city and the boycott has already performed. We are very excited about this opportunity, and that's all I can share at this time.”
The rays are trying to build a new 17 -year stadium, and its situation was only when Hurricane Milton was damaged in Tropicana Square to the extent that the team will have to play at least this year at the Lesser Yanxiz facility in Tampa.
Sternberg and local officials have spent the financing of the stadium of $ 1.3 billion.
The team argues that the late boycott vote led to a delay in the cost of the project, and that the rays do not feel that they should contribute to money due to preparation.
The organization planned to contribute 700 million dollars in the downtown St. Petersburg.
