Yeah, that's it.
Brodie Brazil uploaded a pretty clear video on it this morning.
At first I thought maybe it was something specific to the As, but no, it's like I later thought, it's something that is expected of every club, it's just that
the As' payroll is so low that this is an issue.
EDIT: Man, they're so cheap. Something like 67% of their payroll is being paid by the other clubs! 35 or so million to field a MLB team in 2024 while the Yankees and Mets are both fielding teams over 300M? And some thought the gap was bad before.
