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.

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?
