It doesn't look like that even includes the $1,000 each from Rays presidents Brian Auld and Matthew Silverman, so the total from the team and executives appears to be even higher.  We're still waiting, however, to hear anything of consequence from the Rays.

But....we'll also continue to flirt with Hillsborough to maintain leverage. https://t.co/ZLJFR3TD3Q
