Title: Revenue Sharing
Post by: Outlawscotty on December 01, 2016, 08:23:17 am
What does the bullet below from the new CBA mean?

'Oakland's revenue-sharing funds will be cut to 75 percent next year, 50 percent in 2018, 25 percent in 2019 and then phased out.

Why is Oakland singled out?

I had the same question. This article (http://www.eastbaytimes.com/2016/11/30/as-awaiting-final-details-of-new-baseball-cba-with-money-on-the-line/) says the A's were only able to receive revenue sharing funds under the last CBA because an exception was made for them. I hadn't realized that.

Word on the radio here in the Bay Area this morning was that this possibly means a new stadium deal for the A's will be announced soon.

Would hope they get a deal done, but don't know anything beyond what was mentioned this morning on KQED (what I posted above). 

The local ESPN station may have more details this evening on the drive home.
