Rays’ owner Stu Sternberg addresses MLBPA grievance, payroll concerns

Following the grievances filed on Tuesday by the MLB Player’s association, in which they claimed the Rays, as well as the Oakland Athletics, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Miami Marlins were not spending their revenue sharing appropriately, the Rays Radio team was able to sit down with the Rays principal owner Stu Sternberg to ask him how he felt about the allegations.

Sternberg, ever affable, started out by saying, “I’m extraordinarily happy baseball is being played again.” Indeed, the sounds of baseballs hitting leather gloves filled the air as he spoke, while Duran Duran’s “Hungry Like the Wolf” played, an unintentional anthem for the young men on the field who would be stalking victory like prey this coming season.
