A new, and surprising story has just broke from the MLB Players’ Association involving the Pittsburgh Pirates. The association is looking to file their second grievance against the Pirates over revenue sharing.
This is nothing new, as the MLBPA filed a grievance last semester against a handful of the teams who usually sit in the bottom of payroll rankings, and this obviously included the Pirates. The Pirates, along with the Tampa Bay Rays, Miami Marlins, and Oakland A’s were also part of the grievance.
The official grievance challenges Bucs’ owner Bob Nutting’s use of revenue-sharing funds.
