But just how specific were the terms being discussed? Also, which teams were involved? If the Yankees and Angels were discussing terms for A-Rod, there would seem to be a stronger collusion case than if the Royals and Devil Rays were throwing out numbers. Lines get crossed all the time in baseball. It is highly unregulated and the commish and owners often get to do whatever they want. The players union needs to start taking a tougher stand against those in power. Evidence is pretty strong that they were discussing terms. But just how specific were the terms being discussed?
