Tampa Bay Rays owner remains committed to Montreal plan

Reports of the Tampa Bay Rays looking to split time between Florida and Montreal were met with criticism last year.

While we have not heard much on this front since, Rays owner Stuart Sternberg is now speaking out on it. As Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times notes, Sternberg is committed to the idea.

Sternberg also placed some of the onus on fans showing up to games at the run-down Tropicana Field. When asked about the potential of the Rays remaining in Tampa Bay over the long haul, he did not seem too optimistic.
