In an interview with Chris Russo on SiriusXM, commissioner Rob Manfred reiterated that "we believe in the market" and remains hopeful the Trop will be ready for the Rays in 2026.

St. Petersburg Mayor Ken Welch said he was not surprised, adding he still intends to repair Tropicana Field and move forward with the redevelopment of the Historic Gas Plant District.

Owner Stuart Sternberg pronounces the deal dead, citing events resulting from Hurricane Milton. Rays president Matt Silverman says the team is not for sale, but ownership remains committed to the Tampa area.

Joe Molloy, a former Yankees executive, tells the Tampa Bay Times he is leading one of the efforts to buy the team while The Athletic reports Eddie DeBartolo Jr. is part of the group.

Following the announcement, mayors for both Tampa and St. Petersburg expressed optimism that a new stadium deal could be worked out to keep the Rays in the Tampa Bay area.
