光芒队的新球场计画原本是陷入危机
因为皮尼拉斯郡委员会来了两位新委员
它们对于要资助光芒312.5M这事有疑虑，原本是要投反对票的
Rays $1.3 Billion Stadium Gains Approval With Manfred’s Influence
https://reurl.cc/XZm97D
A month ago, the Rays’ planned new stadium was in big trouble. There are still
concerns to work through, but MLB’s commissioner flipped two prior “no” votes
and has helped put the project back on track.
大联盟主席曼佛地魔就飞去当地沟通
把这两位投反对票的乔到改投同意
The long-embattled $1.3 billion new stadium for the Rays received another signif
icant boost Tuesday, with a big assist from MLB commissioner Rob Manfred, as the
Pinellas County (Fla.) Commission voted 5–2 to authorize $312.5 million in bon
ds for the project.
然后今天投票就过惹
In a notable development, though, county commissioner Chris Latvala flipped his
stance from a prior opposition to the stadium project to one of support, and he
was a “yes” vote Tuesday. He said that was strictly because of Manfred and a r
ecent meeting with him, and Latvala called for a sale of the team.
其中一位委员Chris Latvala表示他是因为信任曼佛地魔才改投同意的
然后呼吁光芒老板把球队卖了
“While I do not trust the owner of the Rays [Stu Sternberg], I trust Mr. Manfre
d,” Latvala said. “He is the reason I am voting yes. MLB is aware of the sever
al instances where the Rays organization has intentionally tried to sabotage the
very deal they agreed to. As a result of this vote, it is my hope that the Tamp
a Bay Rays will finally have an owner that our other wonderful local franchises
have.
Latvala:
我是因为曼佛地魔投同意的，虽然我不信任Stu Sternberg
但我信任Manfred

The Rays are responsible for the $700 million not covered by taxpayer funds, as
well as any cost overruns. It’s the latter component the Rays say is quickly ri
sing, in part because of extended political deliberations.
光芒要负担700M，以及其他超支部分
但目前光芒表示目前预计超支部分
因为这些政治上的拖延，而越来越多
“As we have made clear, the county’s delay has caused the ballpark’s completi
on to slide into 2029,” said Rays co-president Matt Silverman. “As a result, t
he cost of the project has increased significantly, and we cannot absorb this in
crease alone. When the county and city wish to engage, we remain ready to solve
this funding gap together.”
光芒表示这次投票的拖延，让它们新球场启用时间会延到2029
其中增加的成本，光芒无法单独承担
要和政府一起解决这资金缺口
又要继续要钱惹
