Baseball fans in Montreal will want to look on a right field wall of Tropicana Field during the MLB playoffs when the Tampa Bay Rays play, as a new sign will feature future plans the team has to split regular season games.
Team president Matt Silverman said on the This Week in Rays Baseball radio show that the team will unveil a sign with a Tampa Bay Montreal graphic just as baseball viewers hit their peak for the playoffs.
“Especially with the eyes of baseball on us this October, we want that visible symbol of our plan and our excitement for it," he said. It will mark the effort subtly and keep the focus on winning.”
The announcement about the sign confirms what Rays owner Stuart Sternberg first said in 2019 that the team would split time between Montreal and Tampa Bay in the future.
"It's an affirmation of the intention of the owner of the Rays to have the team play out of Montreal for half of the year," said Expos Nation founder and TSN 690 Radio host Matthew Ross.
