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.
据多位不具名的消息人士透露，
光芒进入与 Jacksonville 开发商 Patrick Zalupski 为
首的团队的转售球队谈判，
球队交易估值17亿美元。
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 已签署了购买意向书(LOI)，但这并非正式购买协议，因此交易最终仍可能破局
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.
光芒现任老板 Stu Sternberg 於2004年以2亿美元收购光芒。
近年来，有不少买家对光芒表达兴趣，《The Athletic》3月也曾报导大联盟主席
Rob Manfred 以及其他球队的老板正向 Sternberg 施压，希望他能卖球队。
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.
光芒多年来一直希望兴建新球场取代 Tropicana Field，但去年秋天因为飓风摧毁了球场
屋顶，使得与地方政府一同出资兴建新球场的计画被迫搁置，
而光芒本季的主场赛事也被迫改至洋基的小联盟球场 Steinbrenner Field 进行。
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 的创办人兼执行长，是间专门为首购族打造新建住宅
的公司。根据公司最新的 10-K 财报，自 2008 年底在 Jacksonville 创立以来，该公司
至 2024 年底已在全美 10 个州建造并售出超过 38,000 户住宅。Dream Finders Homes
在 2021 年公开上市，目前
企业价值达 34 亿美元。根据富比士估算，Zalupski 的净资
产约为 14 亿美元，他本人也於 2023 年由州长 Ron DeSantis 任命，成为佛罗里达大学
董事会成员。
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 的投资团队中还包括两位有名的人物：
Ken Babby：拥有 Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 以及 Akron RubberDucks 这两支小联盟
球队。
Bill Cosgrove：是位於俄亥俄州 Strongsville 的 Union Home Mortgage 执行长。自
2020 年起，该公司成为坦帕「Gasparilla Bowl」橄榄球赛的冠名赞助商，比赛地点为
Raymond James 体育场。
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.
在现任老板 Stu Sternberg 的带领下，
光芒长年处於MLB薪资倒数前五，但从2008年至今
仍有九次打进季後赛，期间球队胜率5成45，仅次於道奇和洋基这两支大市场豪门球队。
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.
尽管战绩亮眼，光芒主场长期观众稀少，自2011年起每年平均观众数皆位居联盟倒数前四
名，且自2013年以来从未超过18000人。由於迟迟无法兴建新主场或改善票房，所以一直
有搬家的风声。光芒以每年从大联盟拿到大约6000万美元的分润来维持球队营运。
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.
根据最新MLB的市值评估，光芒估值为13.5亿美元，在全大联盟30支球队中排在29名，仅优
於马林鱼。
