The Marlins' trades of Jake Burger and Jesus Luzardo appear aimed at acquiring young talent rather than cutting payroll, but impact their financial picture significantly.
With a luxury tax number around $82.8MM, the Marlins need to increase their spending to avoid repercussions from the MLB players' union regarding revenue-sharing.
The MLBPA previously filed a grievance against the Marlins for not reinvesting revenue-sharing funds into player payroll, highlighting the ongoing financial scrutiny on the team.
The shift to a 150% spending requirement under the CBA puts pressure on teams like the Marlins to ensure they meet payroll limits to avoid union grievances.
