The baseball players union is more than curious about why certain teams, such as the Rays, aren't spending more money.
So the union filed a grievance to Major League Baseball against four teams — the A's, Marlins, Pirates and Rays — claiming they have failed to comply with rules of how they spend their revenue sharing money, the Tampa Bay Times has learned.
Teams are required to spend their revenue-sharing money to improve the on-field product, according to terms of the collective bargaining agreement, though not necessarily on their major-league payroll.
The Rays are considered one of the biggest revenue-sharing recipients, getting what is believed to be about $45 million a year.
MLB responded with a statement to the Times: "We have received the grievance and believe it has no merit."
Grievance includes 2017 season and the 2017-18 offseason. Pirates have already responded that the grievance is "baseless" and a "meritless claim."
