Vote on Tropicana Field roof repairs delayed to April 3
The St. Petersburg City Council will decide on whether to replace the roof of Tropicana Field a week later than planned.
City Administrator Rob Gerdes emailed council members Friday to let them know city staff was still working on 'contractual details' for the Trop's roof repair, which is expected to cost $22.7 million, according to contract drafts.
Council chairperson Copley Gerdes confirmed Monday that the vote had been pushed off to April 3. It had been scheduled for Thursday.
Hurricane Milton last October blew the roof off the Trop, exposing the field, seats and offices inside. Under the agreement between the city and the Tampa Bay Rays, the city as the Trop's landlord is obligated to 'diligently pursue' repairs to make the dome suitable for home games again.
The city says it is still on track to fix the Trop by opening day 2026. The Rays are playing at Steinbrenner Field in Tampa in the meantime.
'We don't anticipate this creating any issue with our current timeline for work to occur,' Rob Gerdes wrote.

Red-Hot Tampa Bay Rays Soaring Into Series With Orioles
Red-Hot Tampa Bay Rays Soaring Into Series With Orioles originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Forget all that talk about the struggling Tampa Bay Rays. They are not even close to struggling right now, winning 18 of their last 24 games. Tampa Bay is coming off an impressive three-game sweep of the New York Mets at Citi Field. Advertisement With this surge, it's no wonder that Rays manager Kevin Cash is extremely pleased with his team's performance. Shane Baz provided a huge boost to the Rays' bullpen, working deep into a 9-0 win on Sunday against the Mets. 'We are playing good baseball. I'm very encouraged by the way we played - offense, defense and pitching,' Cash said after Sunday's win, reported. 'To do that against this quality Mets team, everything has to go right like it did for the most part.' Tampa Bay Rays dominated New York Mets with solid starting pitching, clutch hitting Tampa Bay jumped on Mets pitchers all game long, eventually getting a six-run lead in the fifth inning. Jonathan Aranda's double down the right-field line scored Josh Lowe and Junior Caminero. But Caminero had a little Father's Day love to send out to his father, who was watching from the Citi Field stands. Caminero slammed a three-run homer in the ninth inning, putting a cap on an excellent weekend in New York. Advertisement Cash understands that his team is still looking up at the New York Yankees, who sit in first place in the American League East Division. He knows that there is still a lot of work to do before even talking about postseason play. 'The Yankees are a very good team, but we have to control what we can and that's kind of staying series to series," Cash said. "We did a good job of resetting after the Red Sox series to come to [Citi Field] after the off-day and play well. Now we have to go home and do that in the Orioles series.' The Baltimore Orioles come to George M. Steinbrenner Field on Monday night to start a three-game series against the Rays.

MLB power rankings: See where Reds rank after winning series in Detroit
In a perfect world, the end of the Rafael Devers era in Boston would give way smoothly to the rise of the Roman Empire. Few could have forecast that the long-awaited promotion of top prospect Roman Anthony would have coincided with the stunning early-season trade of Devers. That's how this wild week shook out, however. Advertisement And funny thing about the Devers deal: It comes as the Red Sox are playing their best baseball of the season. It just so happened to coincide with the promotion of Anthony, who has just one hit in his first 17 at-bats. Yet the Red Sox have not lost since Anthony delivered that one hit, a two-run double that lifted them to a victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. They've now won five in a row after a sweep of the New York Yankees, giving them five consecutive wins over their division-leading rivals. And while we won't know the effects of Devers' loss for several weeks, for now, Boston has leapt five spots in USA TODAY Sports' power rankings. In winning 10 of their last 15 games, the Red Sox vaulted the .500 mark for the first time since May 24, and creeped within 6 ½ games of the front-running Yankees. And now a nine-game trip that includes a visit to San Francisco and old friend Devers looms. A look at our updated rankings: Jarren Duran, left, and Trevor Story celebrate a home run. Loss of Jackson Jobe to Tommy John surgery a big blow for this year and next. In sixth major league start, Cade Horton pitches to a standoff against Paul Skenes. Suffer first sweep of the season, thanks to Tampa Bay. 4. New York Yankees (-) Aaron Judge struck out three times thrice against Red Sox. 5. Los Angeles Dodgers (-) Kiké Hernández shows at least someone is concerned about their fans. Casey Schmitt, of all people, becomes first Giant with grand slams in consecutive games. Ranger Suárez has a 1.16 ERA in his last seven starts. Cam Smith and Mauricio Dubón deliver consecutive walk-off hits for team that's won 16 of 22. Jackson Merrill lost to concussion IL after tag by Ketel Marte. 10. Tampa Bay Rays (+1) Where did this offense come from? Have scored at least six runs nine times in last 23 games. Another IL stint for Royce Lewis, this time a hamstring strain. Quinn Priester has 2.23 ERA since first brutal outing. Need to find a solution to their Bowden Francis (6.05 ERA) problem. Jun 15, 2025; Detroit, Michigan, USA; Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz (44) scores a run in the fourth inning against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park. Mandatory Credit: Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images Have won three straight series for the first time all season. From eight games over .500 to 37-35 in barely a week. Perhaps they should just play the Yankees: 20-12 in their last 32 meetings. 17. Seattle Mariners (-) J.P. Crawford hits grand slam on first Father's Day as a, well, father. 18. Cleveland Guardians (-3) They're 19th with a 3.99 team ERA, which is decidedly un-Guardianslike. 19. Texas Rangers (-) Tyler Mahle's right shoulder is barking again. Finally climb above .500. Now they go? 21. Kansas City Royals (-5) A players-only meeting can't stop sweep by A's and 22nd loss in 32 games. 22. Los Angeles Angels (+1) Per Anaheim custom, Christian Moore reaches majors less than a year after he's drafted. They're a different team when Jordan Westburg is healthy. Spencer Strider punches out 13 Rockies and maybe he's back-back. 25. Washington Nationals (-3) Eight losses in a row as .500 mark again far off in the distance. First three-game sweep of season comes at Washington's expense. Lose three of four at Wrigley because they only scored seven runs all weekend. 28. Athletics (-1) What's hotter? Mason Miller's fastball or the 100-degree forecast for Yolo County on Wednesday? 29. Chicago White Sox (-) Can't spell "Vatican" without "Rate Field." (Well, maybe you can).
