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.

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

Raleigh by way of Crooklyn
He should really consider converting to a closer at this point, especially if he still feels the need to throw every pitch on 10

I used to say the same thing about Thor... You could never get five innings out of son because he always pitched for the strikeout instead of letting the batters put the ball in play.
