Ouch…The Sporting News is reporting that MLB is on the hunt for someone who leaked financial documents about some of their teams.
To answer the question in the headline above? The Pittsburgh Pirates, who haven’t had a winning season since 1992, “made nearly $29.4 million in 2007 and 2008.” The Associated Press also reported that “the Pirates received about $70 million from MLB sources, including revenue sharing, TV contracts, merchandise sales and MLB’s website.”
Who says we can’t add or pay players?
