MLB swaps 2025 Rays dates at Steinbrenner Field with Twins, Angels

New York Times  

Major League Baseball on Monday announced an adjustment to the Tampa Bay Rays’ 2025 schedule to mitigate the possible effects of weather on games at the outdoor Steinbrenner Field, where the team will play next season because of damage caused to Tropicana Field, their typical home park, last month. Rather than have the Rays host the Los Angeles Angels as originally planned in August, they’ll now host that series from April 8-10. The Rays will not play the 2025 season at Tropicana Field because of damage to the stadium and its roof caused by Hurricane Milton in October. The city of St. Petersburg, Fla., and the Rays still have to decide whether rebuilding is worth the investment because the team was already planning to move into a new stadium in 2028.
