Rays Owner Stu Sternberg to Sell Team for $1.7 Billion to Developer Patrick Zalupski
The Tampa Bay Rays are reportedly close to selling the team for about $1.7 billion to a group led by Patrick Zalupski, with the sale potentially finalized as soon as September. The new owners prefer to keep the team in Tampa and build a new stadium there. The sale requires MLB approval, and the current owner, Stu Sternberg, bought the team in 2004 for $200 million.
