Then I say let’s make it legal!

The Major League Baseball players’ union claims it has evidence that MLB teams acted in concert when none of them signed alleged all-time home run leader Barry Bonds to a contract this past season, rather than it just being a coincidence that none of the 30 teams wanted an aging, primadonna, clubhouse cancer to hit .275 with 25 HR while being a potenital defensive liability and bring excessive media attention to the club for his off-field legal issues.

The players’ association won three collusion grievances in which owners were found to have conspired against free agents following the 1985, 1986 and 1987 seasons. Management agreed in 1990 to settle those cases for $280 million and also agreed to a provision that future collusion would be subject to triple damages.

Strangely, though, they have reached an agreement with the commissioner’s office to delay filing a grievance, which would trigger proceedings before an aribitrator.  It’s unknown how long they will delay filing the grievance.

Possibly most notable in the article: Bonds’ agent Jeff Borris has stopped his efforts of trying to get Bonds a new deal.

And for that, I think we can all sigh in relief.
