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.

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

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.
