New York Mets display pride flag during the national anthem

America is gay, deal with it

 

I'm almost certain NY is trying to cargo cult their turn around from last year, which started during Pride month ... guess it didnt work

 

Well this year they were the hottest team in MLB coming into the series. Best record in MLB. Rays ruined that.

 

If the Rays are sold, do you think they will move? Maybe to NE Florida? Lotta transplants from “up nawth” living in that area.

Tampa Bay Rays in Advanced Talks for $1.7B Sale to Florida Developer

The Tampa Bay Rays are in advanced talks to sell the team to a group led by Jacksonville, Fla., developer Patrick Zalupski. The deal values the team at roughly $1.7 billion, according to multiple sources who asked not to be named because the details are private.

Zalupski has signed a letter of intent (LOI) to purchase the team. An LOI is not a purchase agreement, and the deal ultimately might not be completed.

Under Sternberg, the Rays have typically fielded a bottom-five payroll in MLB but have made nine playoff appearances since 2008 and possess a winning percentage of .545 during that time. Only the big-market, free-spending Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees have won more games.

Despite the on-field success, fans have largely avoided the Trop, with attendance among MLB’s bottom four every year since 2011 and last above 18,000 per game in 2013. Failure to secure a new stadium or improve fan support has triggered speculation of a franchise relocation from Tampa. The Rays’ finances have been propped up by annual revenue-sharing checks of roughly $60 million.

 

seems doubtful that they'd move. twice as many people in the Tampa Bay area as Jax
