It’s reassuring to know fans of the Oakland Athletics, who are showing up to games in laughably low numbers this season, aren’t the only ones disenchanted with the team’s ownership.
The New York Post reported this week owners of rival teams in Major League Baseball aren’t happy the A’s are back to collecting revenue-sharing checks after having another fire sale in the offseason where the team got rid of notable players to cut costs.
“The idea of revenue sharing is not to make money, it’s to field a competitive team,” an owner told the Post outside of league meetings in New York. “That money is supposed to go toward player salaries. (The A’s) took the money and put it in their pocket.”
