Carving up the pie

MLB has released the value of the "shares" for the Sox (and each playoff team) after the 2018 WS.

Each share for the Sox was just shy $417M (that M is thousands in this case) and the Sox voted 66 full shares, 10.25 (?) partial shares and 8 cash awards.

 

Do teams ever release who's getting the awards? It'd be pretty easy to determine who 25 of them are, but what about guys like Hanley? Does the PA prohibit any of the money going to guys like Cora and the rest of the coaching staff?

Coaches almost always get full shares. The Yankees gave way less shares than the Sox this year. They released who got theirs (and who did not).

NY media is raising a fuss about the Yanks cutting shares to some guys.

I've always felt that the distribution of shares says a lot about how the players feel about the non-players. IIRC some (most?) teams make some allowances for clubhouse guys, etc. while some don't.

 

Does anyone know how this gets done? Is there a meeting of a group who makes the decision as to who gets shares and who doesn't? Are some of the people who end up not getting shares present at that meeting?!!

There is a players only meeting where all this is decided before the playoffs begin.
