The other thing mentioned in the MLB article that I think the players might accept in the 10/5 Rule.

If I am understanding that, it means that any player with 10 years in the league, and at least 5 years with their current team, gets a veto on being traded.

It rewards loyalty and gives them control over where they go. It would also be universal. While some teams would still benefit more than others (players would likely veto small, cold markets more than others), it would also be a huge incentive for a player to stay with their team for 5-10 years so they could earn that perk. The threat of being traded and having to start your 5-year tenure somewhere else would be a big kick the pants for players dogging it.
