Rob Manfred believes in Tampa Bay
The commissioner is confident the Rays can stay in Florida for the long term.
“We think Tampa is a major-league market,” MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said, “and we want to find a solution that makes the club economically viable in that market.” #Rays #RaysUp #TampaBay https://t.co/MjZvRrmslg

The date of the first day of the season is always the same
The league still hopes to come to an agreement with the association shortly; there are still only seven weeks left.
Sources: MLB will make concessions on key economic issues, hoping to trigger more compromising by union. While owners are expressing optimism a deal will be struck to keep the season start date as March 31, the new offer still thought unlikely to avert a delay to spring training. https://t.co/ZKIa5WLT7q
