you are forgetting that at this level, this is a business and players are labor. Again if it weren't from the anti-trust exemption that MLB enjoys there wouldn't be ANY argument here. Not sure why the antitrust exemption should exempt MLB from other elements of common applicable labor law -- like the minimum wage.
