Pinellas County Commission Votes Today | Locked On Rays

On this episode of Locked On Rays, we dive into the high-stakes drama surrounding the Tampa Bay Rays' future home. With St. Petersburg council members approving their share of financing earlier this month, all eyes are now on the Pinellas County Commission. Scheduled to vote on Tuesday, the commission's decision on the stadium bonds could make or break the proposed St. Pete ballpark deal — but there’s no guarantee of a “yes.”We’ll break down:⚾ What a potential “yes” vote means—and why it still might not secure the Rays' commitment.⚾ The key players in the commission, including Chris Scherer, Dave Eggers, and Chris Latvala, and their pivotal roles in this decision.⚾ How a competing pitch for a waterfront stadium in Tampa’s Ybor Harbor, made in July 2023, could resurface as a viable alternative.With rising construction costs, looming deadlines, and questions about public funding, the Rays are under pressure to secure a solution. Are they leaning toward Ybor (or elsewhere) or committed to keeping baseball in St. Pete? Tune in as we analyze the political, financial, and community implications of this decision and what it means for the Rays’ future in Tampa Bay.Follow Kevin Weiss @KevinWeiss_Follow Ulises Sambrano @SambranoUlisesFollow the show @LockedOnRaysFollow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LORays?sid=You...Locked On MLB League-Wide: Every Team, Prospects & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnMLB#RaysUp #LockedOnRays #RaysBaseball  #TampaBayRays #ChampaBay #TeamTampaBay #TBRays #MLBPodcastSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Rocket MoneyCancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money.
