Locked On Rays- Daily Podcast On The Tampa Bay Rays

The Locked On Rays crew sits down with WTSP’s Sports Director, Evan Closky a day after the St. Petersburg City Council approved bonds to fund its part of the project with a 4-3 decision. Up next, a December 17th meeting for the Pinellas County Commission could have the final decision on the redevelopment plan. Will the county approve? If they do, will the Rays find a way to terminate the deal citing lack of money? If the county does not approve, will the Rays use that decision to terminate the deal? Let us know in the comments!

The St. Petersburg City Council received a warning that bonds to finance the possible new Tampa Bay Rays stadium and Historic Gas Plant District are on Thursday's December 5th, 2024 agenda. What brought on this sudden change to the agenda? Does this mean that Mayor Welch wants to get this through before additional 'no' votes join City Council? Is the city steering the ship for once during these last two months? Let us know in the comments!

Rays President Matt Silverman responded to Pinellas county officials saying the 'deal is still in effect' contradicting their earlier stance by Brian Auld who said the 'deal is dead'. Rays response included a bolded statement: “We would not have gone forward with the project if a future Pinellas County Commission had the ability to revoke the approval we all celebrated in July or to unilaterally delay the project’s completion into 2029.” Rays fans and the baseball world are now watching a standoff—None of those parties (County Commission, St. Pete City Council, Rays) want to be responsible for pulling the plug on plans to build the Historic Gas Plant District anchored by a ballpark, an overall $6.5 billion development. What do you think will happen? How did the letter sway your opinion? Let us know in the comments.

The Locked On Rays crew sits down with Colleen Wright, St. Petersburg reporter for the Tampa Bay Times, to break down the latest with the Tampa Bay Rays stadium deal, over the course of two episodes. In Part 2, Colleen shares the latest insights from contentious Pinellas County Commission and St. Pete City Council meetings, including some of the wildest moments and key ultimatums, like Commissioner Chair Kathleen Peters’ letter demanding clarity from the Rays. We also discuss the Rays consistent lack of communication with local city and county officials, if the Rays will ever play in the Trop again, and what the city and county bond funding could be utilized for – instead of a new MLB stadium.

The Locked On Rays crew sits down with Colleen Wright, St. Petersburg reporter for the Tampa Bay Times, to break down the latest with the Tampa Bay Rays stadium deal, over the course of two episodes. In Part 1, Colleen takes us behind the scenes, unpacking the wild series of events — from hurricanes to bond delays and scrapped stadium repairs — that led to the Rays stadium deal’s uncertain future. We also explore the Gas Plant District’s future: if the Rays walk away, can they still profit from the site? And, what do the Rays’ public statements mean for the 2029 season and beyond?

Stu Sternberg made some comments that have not landed well within the fanbase regarding the stadium deal. “Last month, the County Commission upended our ballpark agreement by not approving their bonds, as they promised to do,” team owner Stuart Sternberg said. “That action sent a clear message that we had lost the county as a partner. “The future of baseball in Tampa Bay became less certain after that vote.” “..It’s a confluence of events and without the minds here coming together, (relocation) is not an unlikely conclusion.” Why has there been lack of communication between the Rays and government? Will this have negative repercussions on the stadium deal with City Council? Is baseball ‘all but dead’ in the Tampa Bay region?Let us know what you think in the comments!

MAILBAG EPISODE: -Who are the top 2 realistic free agent targets the Rays could potentially pursue? -Why can’t our best prospects be called up sooner? Why can’t Tre’ Morgan, Carson Williams and Chandler Simpson be viable options to play for the club in 2025? -Would you rather sign Juan Soto, which prevents any spending for the next 15 years (other than league min, no arb) or sign Roki Sasaki and at least have the hope of being able to sign other players?

Shane Baz returned in 2024 from Tommy John surgery and was able to log almost 80 innings with plenty of positives to take away. The four-pitch mix seemed to work well, but did the secondary pitches over-perform? What could improve? What does his future look like with the team? Is there a possible long-term contract with the Rays and Baz?Let us know what you think in the comments!

It is that time of the year where 30 teams can dream of obtaining the best free agents. This year, that’s Juan Soto. Can the ex-Yankees, National, Padre become a Rays target? Probably not. But, why not talk about it anyway? Are there ways the Rays could become a possibility for Soto? Which are they? Is there relationship with Scott Boras a factor? Is the lack of stadium plans for the short and long term harm their already long odds? Let us know what you think in the comments!
