Ian Desmond Thinks Marlins Screwed Rays
As Bud Selig approved the Marlins' massive firesale trade to the Blue Jays yesterday, one of the most significant tweets came from Nationals infielder Ian Desmond:
Mia/Tor trade went through. As a FL native we can officially say the Rays will never get a new stadium.
Desmond should learn to "never say never" in the stadium game.
You're right, Desmond! The taxpayers got screwed in Miami-Dade ... and I think the people of the Tampa Bay region are smart enough NOT to let that same thing happen to them!
If the Rays want a new stadium ... let them pay for it themselves ... with MLB help ... and with private developer partners.
