Rays owner on meeting with mayor: Nothing has changed

Here's Tampa Bay Rays owner Stuart Sternberg on that upcoming meeting with St. Petersburg Mayor Bill Foster:

"I'm going to talk to him, and if he's got something to chat about other than normal chatting that would be great. If not, it will still be fine. It's always good to communicate. ... I don't sense anything has changed. I don't think the mayor is taking a hard-line approach. We're going to chat and see if something has moved at all."

The headline the Tampa Tribune chose to put on this story: "Rays' stadium issue is heating up." Which is at least preferable to the original headline before the copy editors got hold of it.
