MLB didn't decide that, that was all Tampa who decided that Steinbrenner Field was the best option since it was the closest to being a MLB facility Now regarding the money the Yankees are getting for this deal, MLB Trade Rumors reported this "The Yankees, according to Kephart, will receive an additional $15M in revenue for agreeing to host the Rays in 2025. That won’t come at the cost of the Rays’ revenue but rather insurance and other yet-unreported avenues." and Kephart is from the Associated Press. The Tarpons will still be playing in the facility, just not their main place but there are other fields there.
Samson called it. Rays have a low payroll don't they. Tampa can't be worse than Vegas. I thought they could go to a IL ball park like Buffalo, Durham or Jacksonville.
If they have to Spent Millions to Repair Tropical Field then the RAYS will have to stay there for more than 2 years after it reopens. I’m thinking to make the Repairs and possible Renovation Expenses worth it, the RAYS should have to Stay another 5-7 Years delaying the New Stadium’s Construction.
I was waiting for kay to blame soto for this situation
Yankees Players will love to go back home for those 6/7 games in Tampa
The Rays have fans. The problem is most of them live in Tampa, not St. Pete
An easier commute for most fans!
Steinbrenner Field is in a great area in Tampa!!
Be a good idea to put up misters like AZ.

So it is unfair to make a Tampa team play in Tampa weather?
home field goes to yankees fans
Awesome, can't stand watching games in that shitty dome.
They won't even sell that out.
