Sarasota still in the game
Sarasota isn’t ready to give up its quest to become the spring training home of the Red Sox quite yet.
According to this morning’s Sarasota (Fla.) Herald-Tribune, Sarasota County commissioners voted by a 4-1 margin to continue negotiating with the Red Sox in an attempt to get them to move their spring training operations from Ft. Myers.
The potential deal had been called off by mutual agreement Monday night and the impasse was confirmed by the Red Sox Tuesday.
According to the newspaper, the Red Sox are looking for a facility that would cost in the vicinity of $70 million. City and county officials reportedly came up with slightly less than $60 million.
