Tampa Bay Rays Financial Statements (leaked 2010)
From WikiLeague, the free baseball governance encyclopedia.
Tampa Bay Rays financial document leaked as part of the August 24, 2010 Deadspin multi-team leak. Shorter than the Marlins audit (5 pages vs. 42) — likely a summary or specific schedule rather than a full audited financial statement. The Rays were also revenue-sharing recipients in this period and had a chronically low payroll despite competitive on-field performance.
Background
Companion to the Marlins leak — same Deadspin publication date. The 5-page length (vs. Marlins' 42) suggests this is a partial document rather than full audited statements. The Rays under Stuart Sternberg ownership have been a recurring revenue-sharing-recipient-low-payroll-publicly-funded-stadium-pursuit narrative — directly parallel to the Marlins story this leak helped expose.
