@JPPetersonshow @kenbabby @aclendenin None of those markets are undertaking social media campaigns or planting stories to tank this deal

The reality is that this is a scare tactic used time and again by teams negotiating with municipalities.

Romano would not have written this article if negotiations were going well

[Fatty Weep @FattyWeep]

@TBTimes_Rays @romano_tbtimes Scare tactics written at the request of the Rays because negotiations are going “slow,” as in there will be no negotiations while property tax reform hangs over everyone’s heads

[Fatty Weep @FattyWeep]

@MLBRaleigh Why doesn’t Dundon make a comment? Seems like it would carry weight and help push the proposal through the House

[Fatty Weep @FattyWeep]

@PackInsider The full picture is the state budget will pass with NO money for MLB Raleigh, and this is just a desperate attempt at a Hail Mary.

The NC MLB initiative would have a much better chance if it was Charlotte-based

[Fatty Weep @FattyWeep]

@murphsturph @WRAL Raleigh won’t get money. Now, if it was Charlotte then the $$$ would fly

[Fatty Weep @FattyWeep]

@MLBRaleigh All your wishful development can be done without MLB

Why would Dundon cannibalize the development with another sports team? He already has the anchor sports team

Even if Dundon could afford MLB, he’d put the development in another part of town to 2x revenue

With tourist tax jackpot back in play, this time Orlando and Orange County must swing for the fences and pursue Major League Baseball. Here's my column: https://t.co/85Jrjhg7QO

@JPPetersonshow @RaysBaseball @aclendenin says “by hook or by crook” we will get the Rays deal done. Interesting way of framing the Rays deal as if it’s a robbery of the county coffers 🤔🤔🤔

[Fatty Weep @FattyWeep]

@SteveCona @CityofTampa @TampaSportsAuth Sir, there is a huge question surrounding property taxes. Blindly stumping for the Rays’ stadium deal is quite tone deaf and not winning you any supporters

[Fatty Weep @FattyWeep]

@TallyBull @TBBJnewsroom The TSA isn’t against the Rays. They just don’t want the Rays’ rush job when they’ve been working with the Bucs for 28 years, the last 3 on this current stadium issue specifically

@TheDCLBlog @OrlandoDreamers Heard hats are coming soon

[Fatty Weep @FattyWeep]

@Unexpected1227 @OrlandoDreamers Demings is aboard. Keep up

“I would love to see professional baseball in our community.” — Mayor Jerry Demings ⚾

As Orlando celebrated a historic 76.7 million visitors in 2025, the conversation around bringing Major League Baseball to Central Florida continues gaining momentum.

From tourism and economic growth to community pride and regional identity… Orlando is ready for baseball.

Orlando… we’re on deck.

[Orlando Dreamers @OrlandoDreamers]

Apparently Orlando’s skyline finally realized it was missing something... a Major League Baseball team. ⚾👀

The new Orlando Dreamers sign is up, and so is the momentum to bring MLB to Orlando.

We’re not subtle about it anymore.

#OrlandoOnDeck #MLBtoOrlando @OrlandoDreamers @orlandomayor @OCFLMayor @AnnaForFlorida there are thousands of Orlandoans like me who will do whatever it takes to get @MLB in Orlando! I’ll work for free to do so!

Let’s make the dream a reality.

Orlando is a major league city.

@JPPetersonshow @ESchimunow @AnthonyClose @RaysBaseball 20 years? Does that make Ray Jay 12 years past its life cycle?

[Fatty Weep @FattyWeep]

@mat_pagano @yimbystpete Do you realize Epic Universe - the theme park - was a $7B development? You think this smaller development will be $8-$10B? Bally’s can’t fund the $1.2B development around the A’s stadium on The Strip. The $10B investment is pure fantasy

[Fatty Weep @FattyWeep]

@JustBB_Media @BNightengale There’s one expansion city that would grow the revenue pie

ORLANDO

There’s money available to build the stadium. They’re the only market building a huge stadium (40k+) and they’re the largest market by far.

Players union will never agree to MON or MEX City

ORL is additive

@hudackom1 @jc_bradbury Are you aware that the Nashville group had a falling out with Dave Stewart and that Dombrowski left years ago to run the Phillies?

[Fatty Weep @FattyWeep]

@sportsrapport Why?

[Fatty Weep @FattyWeep]

@iAmNickWize Rays are in St Pete. Tampa is trying to save them but it’s St Pete that’s losing the Rays
