The MLBPA has filed a grievance against the Pittsburgh Pirates, Oakland Athletics, Tampa Bay Rays, and Miami Marlins, claiming that the teams have not properly used their revenue sharing money.
”We have raised our concerns regarding both Miami and Pittsburgh with the Commissioner, as is the protocol under the collective bargaining agreement and its Revenue Sharing provisions,” the union said in a statement, as reported by USA Today. “We are waiting to have further dialogue and that will dictate our next steps.”
Funds that teams receive through revenue sharing must be funneled back into baseball operations.
