No move tomorrow.
The 2015 season will be an attendance nightmare.
Revenues will drop.
The team will search for a new location in the Tampa/St. Pete/Orlando metroplex, and decide to build a new stadium next door to the "Hard Rock Cafe" just off I-4.
The stadium will take two (2) years to get built (2018 season opener) ...
Meanwhile, attendance will continue to fall.
Tampa Bay Rays win the pennant again in 2023.
That's a LONG time to wait.

What about their lease at Tropicana Field, which runs through the 2027,season? Can they easily break it to move???

Rays,
With already a comparative small player pay roll unloaded Price, their best pitcher and have made it known next years pay roll will be less.
Rays play in a horse crap stadium that is difficult for those in Tampa, clearwater or Bradenton to get to.
When you get there it sucks,
never will pull in fans there.
