If you want to talk about a union that needs to be crushed, it's the MLBPA...
The players' association had told Sosa's agent, Adam Katz, several weeks ago that voiding the option would not be a problem.
Why the hell should the union even have a say? If Sosa were to wish to tear up that option, it should be his right.
Hell, the union changed the course of baseball history last year when *it* vetoed the Arod trade to Boston because the union didnt want Arod's deal restructured to less money, even though the Red Sox, MLB and Arod himself had all agreed to it.
