Among those assisting Kriseman in his transition will be St. Pete's Senior Administrator Rick Musset, who has been instrumental in Rays negotiations over the years. Also, former ABC Coalition spokesman Craig Sher, who has emerged as one of the region's most knowledgable and realistic stadium experts.
Meanwhile, Kriseman has been addressing reporters' questions on early conversations with the Rays, and spent about 15 minutes on 98.7 The Fan Tuesday night talking baseball:
Mayor-elect @Kriseman tells @987TheFan top priority for #Rays is to full stands. Second priority is keep in Tampa Bay.

Mayor-elect @Kriseman tells @987TheFan Howard Frankland needs to be "a 2-way bridge," meaning Tampanians need to cross the bay.

Mayor-elect @Kriseman tells @987TheFan the city's contract through 2027 may not mean much w/o addressing issues now.

Many fans may still be hoping the Stadium Saga resolves itself in a matter of months, but don't count on it.
Sounds like Kriseman is going to hold a firm line on the contract.
