Rays will now change hands any day as current owner Stuart Sternberg agrees to sell the franchise to a group led by Patrick Zalupski. Since the deal was announced in July, other details about it have been cancelled. One such detail is that Sternberg and other current members of the ownership group will temporarily retain the after-sale Light Shares.
Another one appeared today when Rick Workman joined Zalupski’s potential ownership group, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. Topkin wrote that Workman’s move to buy a stake in Ray was both a huge shock and a major blow to the Orlando Dreamers Group, which is committed to offering Orlando’s expansion franchise. Topkin suggested that workers were seen as “hosts” investors that the organization brought MLB to the city, and the company would have been the candidate for a control partner for the hypothetical Orlando MLB franchise. John Morgan, the group’s second largest investor, has also left the effort as the rays appear to be staying in Tampa.

Dreamers co-founder Jim Schnorf went on to suggest that the 70-year-old worker could change his heart and wait for a long process to bring a team to Orlando, which could take years, while the Rays’ numbers were to stay in Tampa, opting instead for a more straightforward option to join the Zalupski group.
Between the loss of losing multiple major investors and the possibility that light remains in Tampa, it’s hard to imagine a team that will soon come to Orlando. Having said that, Schnov pointed out “Multiple” Other candidates are the controllers of a hypothetical Dreamer franchise, and the initiative is not short of funds.
“No competing city can match our attributes in terms of stadium locations, market size, population growth, tourism tax, tourism development tax, and the strength and growth of the local economy.” Schnov said. “For any MLB situation in need, whether through relocation, Orlando or one of the existing franchise or planned expansion locations, it remains the only comprehensive preparation solution.”
