報導：https://reurl.cc/Gn9oo3 作者：Scott Soshnick, Kurt Badenhausen The Tampa Bay Rays are in advanced talks to sell the team to a group led by Jacksonville, Fla., developer Patrick Zalupski, according to multiple sources who asked not to be named because the details are private. The deal values the team at roughly $1.7 billion. 據多位不具名的消息人士透露，光芒進入與 Jacksonville 開發商 Patrick Zalupski 為首的團隊的轉售球隊談判，球隊交易估值17億美元。 Zalupski has signed a letter of intent (LOI) to purchase the team. An LOI is not a purchase agreement, and the deal ultimately might not be completed. Zalupski 已簽署了購買意向書(LOI)，但這並非正式購買協議，因此交易最終仍可能破局 Stu Sternberg, the principal owner, purchased the franchise for$200 million in 2004. Buyers have been circling the Rays in recent years, and The Athletic reported in March that MLB commissioner Rob Manfred and other owners were pressuring Sternberg to sell. 光芒現任老闆 Stu Sternberg 於2004年以2億美元收購光芒。近年來，有不少買家對光芒表達興趣，《The Athletic》3月也曾報導大聯盟主席 Rob Manfred 以及其他球隊的老闆正向 Sternberg 施壓，希望他能賣球隊。 The Rays' long, futile efforts to build a stadium to replace Tropicana Field were dealt a blow last fall by Hurricane Milton, which took the roof off the St. Peterburg, Fla. ballpark and stalled local government plans to fund a new buliding. The Rays are playing home games this season at New York Yankees' Steinbrenner Field, its Minor League Baseball complex in Tampa, Fla. 光芒多年來一直希望興建新球場取代 Tropicana Field，但去年秋天因為颶風摧毀了球場屋頂，使得與地方政府一同出資興建新球場的計畫被迫擱置，而光芒本季的主場賽事也被迫改至洋基的小聯盟球場 Steinbrenner Field 進行。 Zalupski is the founder and CEO of Dream Finders Homes, which specializes in new home construction for first-time home buyers. The company has built and sold more than 38,000 homes in 10 states from its start in late 2008 in Jacksonville through the end of 2024, according to its most recent 10-K filing. The company went public in 2021 and has an enterprise value of $3.4 billion. Zalupski, whose net woeth is $1.4 billion per Forbes, serves on the University of Trustees, having been appionted in 2023 by Gov. Ron DeSantis. Zalupski 是 Dream Finders Homes 的創辦人兼執行長，是間專門為首購族打造新建住宅的公司。根據公司最新的 10-K 財報，自 2008 年底在 Jacksonville 創立以來，該公司至 2024 年底已在全美 10 個州建造並售出超過 38,000 戶住宅。Dream Finders Homes 在 2021 年公開上市，目前企業價值達 34 億美元。根據富比士估算，Zalupski 的淨資產約為 14 億美元，他本人也於 2023 年由州長 Ron DeSantis 任命，成為佛羅里達大學董事會成員。 Known limited partners in Zalupski’s group include Ken Babby—who owns a pair of Minor League Baseball teams: the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp and the Akron RubberDucks—as well as Bill Cosgrove, CEO of Strongsville, Ohio-based Union Home Mortgage. Since 2020, Union Home Mortgage has been the title sponsor of the Gasparilla Bowl, the annual college football bowl game played at Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium. Zalupski 的投資團隊中還包括兩位有名的人物： Ken Babby：擁有 Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 以及 Akron RubberDucks 這兩支小聯盟球隊。 Bill Cosgrove：是位於俄亥俄州 Strongsville 的 Union Home Mortgage 執行長。自 2020 年起，該公司成為坦帕「Gasparilla Bowl」橄欖球賽的冠名贊助商，比賽地點為 Raymond James 體育場。 Under Sternberg, the Rays have typically fielded a bottom-five payroll in MLB but have made nine playoff appearances since 2008 and possess a winning percentage of .545 during that time. Only the big market, free-spending Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees have won more games. 在現任老闆 Stu Sternberg 的帶領下，光芒長年處於MLB薪資倒數前五，但從2008年至今仍有九次打進季後賽，期間球隊勝率5成45，僅次於道奇和洋基這兩支大市場豪門球隊。 Despite the on-field success, fans have largely avoided the Trop, with attendance among MLB's bottom four every tear since 2011 and last above 18,000 per game in 2013. Failure to secure a new stadium or improve fan support has triggered speculation of a franchise relocation from Tampa. The Rays' finances have been propped up by annual revenue-sharing checks of roughly $60 million. 儘管戰績亮眼，光芒主場長期觀眾稀少，自2011年起每年平均觀眾數皆位居聯盟倒數前四名，且自2013年以來從未超過18000人。由於遲遲無法興建新主場或改善票房，所以一直有搬家的風聲。光芒以每年從大聯盟拿到大約6000萬美元的分潤來維持球隊營運。 The Rays were valued at $1.35 billion, according to Sportico's most recent MLB valuations, ranking 29th out of 30 MLB teams and just ahead of Miami Marlins. 根據最新MLB的市值評估，光芒估值為13.5億美元，在全大聯盟30支球隊中排在29名，僅優於馬林魚。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 42.77.229.49 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Baseball/M.1750272983.A.5A1.html ※ 編輯: Daiquiri21 (42.77.229.49 臺灣), 06/19/2025 02:58:19
