toasty Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 I think it may be an interpretation of the rules of mlbpa.... the rule says no cut in pay unless benefits of equal value are given to the player, and that may be what selig rules on, or sends to arbritrator, since the player and the teams had agreed to the deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Honda Civic Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 "The basic agreement contains a rule that requires any special covenant to be an actual or potential benefit to the player," Manfred said. "In a situation like the current situation, where there was a restructuring, where the player was getting something and the club was getting something, Gene Orza is not the final arbitrator on whether the restructuring provides an actual or potential benefit to the player. The commissioner currently is considering his legal options in consultation with the two teams." Selig wants this deal to go through. The only other time in recent years the union has been so involved in this kind of negotiation was when Mo Vaughn went from the Anaheim Angels to the New York Mets after the 2001 season. Vaughn was owed $50 million in salary and bonuses, but agreed to defer $8 million of the signing bonus and $13.75 million in salaries. As part of the agreement, the money was deferred at 5.436 percent interest and Vaughn will receive the payments from 2005 through July 2011. There is Precedent for the union getting involved...I can't see how they can allow a $21.75MIL deferment in the mo vaugh incedent, and somehow deny this one(no details are available). I'm changing my mind.. I think the deal will go down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toasty Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 from what i heard, it sounds like there was some cut in salary, a little deferal, but mostly allowing arod out of the contract earlier than the last 3 years.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boras for getting Arod that ridiculous deal and Hicks for actually thinking he had to accept it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsh Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 from what i heard, it sounds like there was some cut in salary, a little deferal, but mostly allowing arod out of the contract earlier than the last 3 years.... if the union wants a benefit for AROD how about the benefit of playing for a team that has a hell of a chance to go to the world series rather than playing for a team that is a perpetual basement dweller. there's your benefit mlbpa!!! :finger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 The Players Union is really seriously startin to screw baseball rite now. Alex Rodriguez should hav the rite to restructure his contract if he wants to. They do it in the NFL why not the MLB? I hope Bud Selig actually does the rite thing for once and approves the trade. Othawise Maggs to LA for Mota, Perez and Miller will be back on, and Nomar can join the Dodgers or Angels in free agency in 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Showtime Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 Yhey do it in the NFL why not the MLB? The Baseball Union is a hell of a lot stonger than the NFL. Secondly, the contracts are not guarenteed in the NFL like MLB. In the NFL, the owner can ask a player to restructure his deal, the player agrees, then later that season he's cut and loses out on money.
