There are multiple interested buyers for the Tampa Bay Rays as principal owner Stu Sternberg faces a stadium-related deadline at the end of the month.

An attorney in Tampa confirmed to FOX 13 that he represents a group of investors interested in buying the Rays ahead of the March 31 deadline imposed by the deal the Rays signed.

One day after a Tampa businessman confirmed he is part of a team vying to purchase the Tampa Bay Rays, a local lawyer said he represents another group of potential suitors. Tampa attorney Carter McCain said he represents a group with local minority ownership interest led by someone who is well-respected within baseball circles and in the office of the Major League Baseball commissioner.
