Today is the last day the Rays have to meet the financial requirements for a new park in St Pete. They said a couple of weeks ago they wouldn't do it.
Pinellas County is considering asking for damages from the Rays for the money the County spent working on the deal. St Pete might do the same.

They're not going to play several years at Steinbrenner. This year will be a one-off, I can't see the Yankees doing it again. Meanwhile St. Pete is contractually obligated to repair the Trop and as a result of this year being unplayable their lease was extended to 2028. The city council just voted to repair the roof and will vote to make other repairs and the Trop is projected to be open in 2026, even if the Rays have to play a good chunk of April on the road.
