Coerced Tzedaka - Gefet with Shalhevet Schwartz

Gefet: Gemara, Perushim and TosfotAn in-depth (Iyun) Gemara shiur with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni and Shalhevet Schwartz (Episode 84)

Tosafot on our sugya addresses this question, and through their answer, we can take a broader look at the sugyot pertaining to tzedakah that we're about to encounter and better understand what those sugyot are doing here, in Masechet Bava Batra.
