I would imagine that MLB would not retroactively try to revoke the Yankees ability to deduct stadium expenses from their contribution. If they try, I am sure Randy Levine will have something to say about it.

Since the Yankees are building and playing in the new Stadium soon, how does that affect their revenue sharing with only a couple more years left to this current CBA? Since there was so much expense involved, will that eliminate their revenue sharing until the other 29 owners can decide how else they are going to punish the Yankees for being successful? Or does it continue the way it has been? ;) Speaking of Tampa and their “revenue stream”, that reminded me to ask this to all you “budget brainiacs” here…
