However, they have never done that. The team just collects the revenue sharing and luxury tax money and pockets it.
Small market teams can, and do, compete in MLB. Twins seem to do a great job of it every year.

Read the first article. I bet KC clears enough from MLB and revenue sharing and luxury tax money to cover their entire payroll.
Stop using money as an excuse for poor management. |
You can blame poor management all day. But do not blame KC fans.
