Comments for Precedent-Setting Deal With Florida Marlins Over Revenue-Sharing Has Broad Implications at http://bizofbaseball.com , comment 1 to 3 out of 3 comments http://bizofbaseball.com Tue, 18 Jun 2013 22:12:15 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://bizofbaseball.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3935:precedent-setting-deal-with-florida-marlins-over-revenue-sharing-has-broad-implications&catid=26:editorials&Itemid=39#comment-1633 I think in the next labor agreement, there should be a salary floor. A floor equal to the amount of money a team gets in revenue sharing so there is no question that redistribution of wealth is being used for player payroll and isn't going into the pockets or towards other expenses of the team. Anything above the revenue sharing received amount a team wants to spend on payroll is their own business and since they have had expenses to generate even just one ticket sale or sign an advertising/broadcasting contract. I would hope they'd put a lot of that team-generated revenue to payroll to be competitive. - Robert S.

Like the Pirates were allowed to do. - palmbeachkid Wed, 13 Jan 2010 09:12:02 +0100 http://bizofbaseball.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3935:precedent-setting-deal-with-florida-marlins-over-revenue-sharing-has-broad-implications&catid=26:editorials&Itemid=39#comment-1628 Outstanding article, Maury, and sounds like a shrewd move on the parts of all concerned. - jds Wed, 13 Jan 2010 09:00:11 +0100
