August 31, 200421 yr This money will allow the Marlins to keep Pavano, Armando, Lo Duca, and Castillo with reasonable offers for all parties. I will fill you in on this in late October or November once I get a chance to try and get the exact figure.
August 31, 200421 yr They are just gonna give us money to keep those players out of the blue? Please post later more info on it
August 31, 200421 yr Author I'm sure one of you geniouses knows the answer to the question of why and how. You must surely, hopefully this is a reminder for you to why I think we shall keep them if reasonable.

August 31, 200421 yr Author OK Im not a genius. Why and How? 534174[/snapback] someone will have to give it a shot and get it right or everyone will have to wait until I am good and ready to post it.
August 31, 200421 yr Author They are just gonna give us money to keep those players out of the blue? Please post later more info on it 534171[/snapback] Revenue Sharing 534175[/snapback] exactly. The Marlins got $20 million or so last season, this year San Diego is no longer taking money but paying it in and the Yankees by adding A-Rod are now paying big. It will be over $30 million at least. Depends on PETCO profits.

August 31, 200421 yr ARods contract helps the Marlins with revenue sharing, and the Padres new stadium, will help Loria and Samson get the deal done here in Miami
August 31, 200421 yr Author ARods contract helps the Marlins with revenue sharing, and the Padres new stadium, will help Loria and Samson get the deal done here in Miami 534189[/snapback] got it, it helps them have hard cash for free and no interest on it to help keep players signed.
August 31, 200421 yr isnt revenue sharing payroll related entirely. the money from the stadium recipts are not changed anytime recently from what i recall.
August 31, 200421 yr They are just gonna give us money to keep those players out of the blue? Please post later more info on it? 534171[/snapback] Revenue Sharing 534175[/snapback] Sorry if im being ignorant but what do you mean by revenue sharing? 534182[/snapback] Revenue for the 30 teams goes into a pot and is distributed from the higher market teams to the lower market teams at a certain percentage (one which does not come to my head at the moment). It's essentially Bud's championed method for turning small market teams into medium markets at the minimum. Also, luxury tax enters this pot, so the more other teams spend the more money we basically receive. Which if you think about it might aid to increase player contracts even more so than they are now, but the market is causing them to decline, ::hopefully:: bringing baseball salaries to a sane level in the next couple of years. But that's an argument for a different time.
August 31, 200421 yr Author Oh Ok got it. So they're helpin the poor teams then right 534192[/snapback] MLB's version of take from the rich to give to the poor. My guess is $15 million more this year than last year. That should easily help us sign most of the players we want.

August 31, 200421 yr Yankees and their bloated salaries will be paying a lot of our (and many other team's) salaries for going way over the salary cap.
August 31, 200421 yr Author isnt revenue sharing payroll related entirely. the money from the stadium recipts are not changed anytime recently from what i recall. 534196[/snapback] If the Pads make the playoffs or do well at the gates, some money goes into the pot. 25% of all gameday revenues go to the visiting team, which is taxed by MLB.
August 31, 200421 yr isnt revenue sharing payroll related entirely. the money from the stadium recipts are not changed anytime recently from what i recall. 534196[/snapback] Cape's bringing of the stadium is a different issue. The Padres are now payers because their salary jumped from the cutoff date last year a significant percentage.
August 31, 200421 yr Author Exactly Juanky. When they got all those players, they bumped it up to where the stadium can support them and they pay more into the pot.
