Just when MLB lockout negotiations were starting to get boring again, an enormous new tidbit dropped Saturday night.
Among the various details being discussed, both sides are open to making the Oakland A’s a recipient of revenue sharing, reports Tim Dierkes of MLB Trade Rumors. Dierkes explains that the league is “looking” to make the move and the players are “willing to do that.”
The A’s used to receive money from the other clubs via revenue sharing, but they were phased out of the program in the last Collective Bargaining Agreement several years ago.
