Yanks boss eyes Mets in revenue-sharing protest

New York Yankees president Randy Levine complained about baseball's revenue-sharing system in a recent interview with Fox Sports, saying it is "unfair" that the Yankees are paying considerably more than the crosstown rival New York Mets.

Levine's comments, which were published Friday by Fox Sports, were made ahead of the looming expiration of Major League Baseball's current collective bargaining agreement on Dec. 1, and the impending labor talks following the 2016 season.

"What is very burdensome to us -- and is unfair -- is the amount of money we have to pay in revenue sharing compared, for example, to teams in our market that pay 10 times less than us," Levine told Fox Sports.
