While much of the Tampa-St. Petersburg area avoided the worst of Hurricane Milton. The same couldn’t be said for Tropicana Field, and the Rays were forced to look for a new home in 2025 as a result. That decision has been made, and it comes courtesy of an AL East rival.

The Tampa Bay Rays will play next season in a New York Yankees-owned ballpark. The Tampa-based George M. Steinbrenner Field, the spring training home of the Yankees and their Low-A minor league affiliate, Tampa Tarpons, will serve as the Rays’ home field in 2025, the team announced on Thursday.

The team needed to find an alternate home ballpark after Tropicana Field sustained major damage from Hurricane Milton.
