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

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 Rays ownership group announced on Thursday that they wouldn't be pursuing a new ballpark in the area after all, leading to questions about the organization's future. Fans were predictably not happy on social media.
