The Orlando Dreamers — a group of investors trying to bring a Major League Baseball team to Central Florida — are ready to pounce.

The @OrlandoDreamers say it has a “financing structure” that will provide “approximately $1 billion towards stadium construction costs.” The plan remains to build the stadium near @SeaWorld. Once again it feels like bringing a @MLB team to Orlando is gaining a little more steam https://t.co/iCB2bIU0C8 pic.twitter.com/uGse8MjYI0

With the apparent collapse of the long-negotiated St. Petersburg deal for the Rays, an Orlando group hoping to bring big-league baseball to the City Beautiful said Friday it has an “anchor investor” to buy the team, and property secured to build a stadium.

A deal to build a new stadium for the Tampa Bay Rays fell through. Pressure is reportedly mounting on the Rays owner to sell the team. Salt Lake City is among cities looking to land a major league baseball franchise.
