ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays tweeted the following statement regarding the situation between FOX Sports and Spectrum trying to reach an agreement:
"We are aware that Spectrum [formerly known as Brighthouse] and FOX Sports are in discussions to continue their agreement to broadcast Rays Baseball. We have urged both parties to reach a speedy conclusion to these discussions so that fans subscribing to Spectrum can continue to enjoy Rays baseball games and other Rays programming."
