Yesterday, the owner of the Tampa Bay Rays, Stuart Sternberg, warned St. Pete Mayor Bill Foster that the team planned to break its lease of Tropicana Field.

The Rays are seeking permission from the city to alter the contract that currently forbids the team from talking with other municipalities about a new stadium.

Today, WMNF asked Foster about the Rays' future in St. Pete.
