Now that'll be interesting. MLBPA brings a cause of action for a person who isn't in their union (yet) to get him on a roster so a member of their union gets bounced from a job.

Do they then also intend to say to everyone else they represent that star players are more important to them than fringe players?

Hendricks 2 for 2 out the 8 spot.

Maddon is a genius.

That's exactly what I was thinking when I read the MLBPA's comments. They negotiate the CBA on the behalf of current MLB players, not minor leaguers. So of course their negotiations aren't for the benefit of minor leaguers. But then they have a situation like this come up and try to act all put out by it.

MLBPA is one of the strongest unions in the country, and they have a whole cache of future members that they completely ignore during negotiations.
