In another wrinkle, via Sherman (on Twitter), the league will ban incoming MLB players from using smokeless tobacco, with existing players grandfathered in.


So the MLB union negotiated a deal that is great for current members but screws over those not in the union yet? Sounds shitty.

Sounds like it. I think that was done to ease public pressure on the issue. Several cities took it upon themselves to ban it, now baseball can point to something on paper and say "see we're doings something about it." When in reality it will take years to completely eliminate it from the game
