Part 4/7:
Jared Diamond, a baseball writer for the Wall Street Journal, suggests that Omaha could serve as a feasible stopover for the Rays, albeit temporarily. Its stadium capacity and lack of a permanent major league tenant make it a unique proposition, especially considering that the regional climate allows for baseball in the summer.
The Yankees have temporarily taken the Rays under their wing, allowing them to play at their spring training facility for the upcoming season. However, this solution is viewed as short-term, suitable for the immediate season but not as a long-term resolution. As the team looks ahead, they may have no choice but to seek refuge elsewhere, with Omaha sitting among other potential options.
