MLB last year transferred about $400M in revenue sharing and luxury tax, and the Indians received more than $20M while the Pirates -- "despite their beautiful, eight-year-old, taxpayer-funded stadium" -- received more than $40M. thats of the top of my head

all MLB teams received $35M from the league's "central fund, which includes revenue from licensing, properties, national TV and advanced media." Thus, the Indians prior to this season had about $55M in revenue and an $81M opening-day payroll, a deficit of just $25M "before they sold one ticket. In addition, all MLB teams received $35M from the league's "central fund, which includes revenue from licensing, properties, national TV and advanced media."

The Pirates had earned $75M and had a $48M payroll, a profit of about $27M before ticket sales.

Indians and Pirates owners are "not willing to spend what it takes to be competitive." They instead are collecting "all that revenue-sharing and central fund dough and claim they're losing money, meaning they must trade away their best players to 'secure the future'
