Alex and Bobby discuss the latest CBA proposals, and how difficult it is to grade the relative success of the union when so much of the picture is still incomplete. Then, they're joined by Jim Quinn, lead counsel in a court case intended to challenge MLB's anti-trust exemption at the Supreme Court level. Jim shares the history of the exemption, the myriad attempts to repeal it (and why they failed), and what is different about this case.
