The Orlando Dreamers say they’re not backing down from their mission to bring Major League Baseball to Central Florida — even as the Tampa Bay Rays enter talks with a different ownership group.

The Tampa Bay Rays entered advanced talks regarding the sale of the team on Tuesday. The question of where the team will end up is still the topic of discussion

"The Tampa Bay Rays announced that the team has recently commenced exclusive discussions with a group led by Patrick Zalupski, Bill Cosgrove, Ken Babby and prominent Tampa Bay investors concerning a possible sale of the team," the Rays said in a statement. "Neither the Rays nor the group will have further comment during the discussions."
