ST. PETERSBURG — Rays principal owner Stuart Sternberg was adamant in explaining Tuesday that the plan to split the season with Montreal is a solution to make the team successful in both markets and not a step toward leaving the Tampa Bay area:
“To be clear, this is not a staged exit. That thought has never entered my mind.''
Nor, Sternberg said is it “a page out of a playbook to gain leverage” to get a new stadium built as a fulltime home in the Tampa Bay area, which he said they no longer feel would solve the problems.
Narrator's voice: Nobody believed him.
