A's loss of revenue sharing brings up more questions

Details are beginning to trickle out about baseball’s new Collective Bargaining Agreement, with the A’s getting some clarity on one important issue in particular.

According to Fox Sports’ Ken Rosenthal, the A’s will be phased out of Major League Baseball’s annual revenue sharing plan over the next four years. That’s no small chunk of money being taken away — the club has been receiving in the neighborhood of a reported $30 million annually in MLB’s attempt to redistribute wealth and help out the game’s “have-not” franchises.

With that source of money eventually drying up, it brings up lots of big-picture questions about the A’s future.
