The president of the New York Yankees, Randy Levine, has publicly criticized the Tampa Bay Rays and Miami Marlins for their dependency on revenue-sharing. Levine called on the teams to take more responsibility for their financial situation. This comes after the Yankees' recent struggles and their decision not to pursue star player Bryce Harper. The comments have sparked a debate about the financial disparities in Major League Baseball and the impact on smaller-market teams. The issue has gained attention in the media and on social platforms, with discussions about the T-shirt industry and the role it plays in promoting and capitalizing on controversial quotes and incidents in the sport.
