Either organization could have decided to not sign an agreement. But why would they not take the money? Kind of a no brainer, right?

Yeah, I guess so. But you're talking about people who are throttling a golden goose with both hands, and no, I don't mean the players. The Yankees, just to use the most obvious example, have a player payroll of $211 million and a franchise value that is, depending on what source you believe, between $5 billion and $7 billion. With a dwindling customer base, in what could be used as a rebound year after a pandemic.
What was that about brains?
