The Rays will play their 2025 home games at the Yankees’ nearby spring training ballpark amid uncertainty about the damaged Tropicana Field.

The Rays found a place to play for the 2025 season without having to go too far — Tampa’s George M. Steinbrenner Field, the spring training home of the rival New York Yankees. The Rays had been looking for an interim home since Hurricane Milton caused extensive damage to Tropicana Field last month.

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.
