Yea I know, but I don't get it. You spend more time cooking it, and it's worth less?

I gathered it was something like that, but it wasn't clear was if it was $40,000 to cover the entire staff, or $40,000 for each staff member. It was clear, however, that the players were already getting theirs, but this issue had to do with the money for the coaches and staff, and the players were backing the staff. And, also to be fair, it sounds like the A's were having the same issues.

Either way, if my company was paying for me to go to Japan, I could probably afford to pay for my own sushi.
