Someone please enlighten me on just wtf the A’s are trying to do here? :skip:
ESPN reported the A’s will receive $US70 million in revenue sharing next season, which means they must spend $US105 million on their roster, or else they could receive a grievance from the players’ union.

Put more simply: they’re overpaying a few players to come play in their minor-league stadium because if they didn’t, they’d get in trouble.

I’m sure the A’s ownership is going to be pleased when the Dodgers come to town and sell out the series and provide a big bump in in stadium revenue.

Miami and Pittsburgh need to be next on the union's checklist
