But they already get exclusive control over those players for six years' worth of Major League service, which can equal eight MLB seasons depending on how often the player is optioned during his three option years.
Seems to me what really be proposed is a restricted/unrestricted free agency system, only with the restricted part having the salaries funded by league revenue rather than solely by the original club matching the offer made by another club.
