Baseball's New Collective Bargaining Agreement

I've been waiting for a while now to receive a copy of Baseball's new CBA. However, I am not sure it has been reduced to writing yet. I received an email from my old Sports Law Professor, Gary Roberts (formerly of Tulane, now Indiana School of Law), that he has not received a written copy yet either and he thinks it will be a little while longer before the fine details are formalized.

Accordingly, I will take what I can from MLB's website as well as other trustworthy sources to start some of my analysis shortly.

However, if anyone has any information on the new CBA, I would appreciate it if you could drop me a line.

Thank you.

Starting off

It may be a little bit before I start posting to this site.

Once I get going, I am hoping to write extensively about the laws that that baseball athletes must be aware of. In particular, how the athlete is affected by NCAA rules and regulations, the minor league draft, any contracts the player may sign (minor league, major league or independent league), and of course the new Major League Baseball collective bargaining agreement.

Comments and feedback are welcomed.
