The Pittsburgh Pirates might have some pressure on them to spend going forward.
Dan Szymborski reports a detail of the Collective Bargaining Agreement that has been overlooked:
The example Szymborski shares above is with $70 million in revenue sharing pool proceeds for the Marlins. Under the new system, they’d have to show how they spent $105 million, rather than the previous system, where the amount would be $87.5 million. The difference in this example is two mid-range free agents, or one year of a big free agent signing.
There was some further discussion on what those amounts would be.
