Matthew Silverman (born) is an American professional baseball executive. He is currently co-chair, along with Brian Auld, of the Tampa Bay Major League Baseball (MLB) Rays. Stuart Sternberg is someone who managed to make his personal fortune on Wall Street. However, he tends to be best known for his involvement with the Tampa Bay Rays, as he plays not one but two important roles in relation to the sports franchise.
First of all, it is the main shareholder of the group that owns it. Secondly, he is the managing general partner, which means he is responsible for running your routine operations. Erik Neander (born May 25, 1998) is an executive in the American main office of Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Tampa Bay Rays. Two, Sternbreg has been known to express his frustration with the Tampa Bay Rays due to low attendance and its resulting effects on the finances of the sports franchise.
During his time as head of the sports franchise, Naimoli was famous for his involvement in managing operations, as well as his savings, with an excellent example being his unwillingness to pay online for the Tampa Bay Rays because he thought email was nothing more than a fad. Currently, Sternberg seems ready to implement a split season with Montreal for the Tampa Bay Rays, which means that the baseball team will play some of its games in one place and the rest of its games in the other, according to Forbes. In May 2004, Sternberg bought a plurality stake in the Tampa Bay Rays from Vince Naimoli, who founded what was then called the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Sternberg's profile with the Tampa Bay Rays states that he has implemented what is called an “employee-first culture” for the sports franchise.
The idea of playing both in the Tampa Bay area and in Montreal has been discussed in recent years after attempts to build a new full-time stadium at the local level failed. Tampa Rays owner Stuart Sternberg addresses the media and expresses the organization's disappointment, after MLB ended plans for the ball club to divide its time between Tampa and Montreal. Instead, he has stated that the Tampa Bay Rays simply cannot continue into a full season in the Tampa Bay Area due to low attendance, making this a solution to their financial problems without needing a full relocation. Five minority owners of the Tampa Bay Rays are suing majority owner Stuart Sternberg, alleging that he has engaged in a relentless plan to squeeze them out and take control of the franchise.
