A-Rod conspiracy theory emerges
Union questions Selig, accusses teams of collusion
球員工會：一切都是陰謀吧？！
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- The baseball players' union is worried commissioner Bud
Selig is trying to hold down the price of Alex Rodriguez's next contract and
that teams might be sharing information about their free-agent plans.
General managers, in an innovation, each spoke at their annual meeting Tues-
day about their offseason goals, and many mentioned what players they were
making available. The idea was suggested by this year's co-chairs, Boston's
Theo Epstein and Florida's Larry Beinfest, and many GMs said they found it to
be useful.
"Over the past few days, press reports coming out of the general managers'
meetings relating to the sharing of information between clubs as to their
plans regarding players potentially raise serious questions concerning the
fairness and integrity of the free-agent market," the union said in a state-
ment Thursday night after the four-day session ended. "Such questions are
amplified by reports stating that the commissioner is attempting to influence
the market for at least one player."
A person familiar with the union's statement said the player in question was
Rodriguez. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the state-
ment didn't refer to A-Rod by name.
Rob Manfred, executive vice president of labor relations in the commission-
er's office, denied that there was any improper conduct.
Baseball's labor contract says teams may not act in concert with regard to
free agents. Union head Donald Fehr did not specify which reports concerned
him but clearly was concerned a team's action might not be based solely on
its own determinations.
"Any such activity with respect to free agents is clearly improper," Fehr
said in a statement. "We expect to look into the situation and are prepared
to take the appropriate action to respond to any collusive behavior, and to
make sure that the rights of free agent players under the Basic Agreement are
fully protected."
Fehr was traveling Thursday night and could not be reached.
"I am at a loss to understand Mr. Fehr's inflammatory allegations," Manfred
said. "In response to an inquiry, the MLBPA was informed early today that
there has been no exchange of information among the clubs about players --
free agent or otherwise.
"The union was also told that the press report in question was based on a
very general discussion of club "needs" and "goals" in the offseason to faci-
litate trade discussions. Any suggestion that such a discussion violates the
Basic Agreement is absurd."
In the 1980s, players won three collusion grievances against management,
cases that were settled for $280 million.
Rodriguez opted out of a record 10-year, $252 million contract with the New
York Yankees, forfeiting $72 million he was owed during the final three sea-
sons. When the Yankees attempted to get a meeting with A-Rod, agent Scott
Boras told them they had to make a $350 million offer if they wished to speak
with the third baseman.
