The Orlando Sentinel is reporting that the state of Florida is finalizing a budget that would provide a $3.3m tax rebate for MLB teams to keep their Spring Training facilities in Florida - and the Astros would get an extra $10m to move from Kissimmee to south Florida.
State Rep. Ritch Workman:
“You can’t make your stars drive so far. They needed to move, and unfortunately, we’re not the only state that offers these things.”
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
