The Pinellas County Commission is seeking answers from the Tampa Bay Rays organization on its embattled stadium deal.
Tampa Bay’s Matthew Silverman, who was a team president for nearly a decade before he led baseball operations, has experience in both roles, but it doesn’t appear he did them both simultaneously.
Rays officials have until Dec. 1 to let commissioners know if they want to continue or terminate the agreement.
Matt Silverman is a consulting petroleum geologist and a past-president of the Petroleum History Institute, based in Oil City. The opinions expressed are his.
