You're not that naive.

So to be clear:

It's naive to believe that there is no way you could get 30 teams, completely self-interested and with a HUGE amount of money to be made if they win, with varying budgetary constraints, to artificially agree not to sign the best hitter of the last 10 years for pennies.

That's what you're saying?

Ok, I'm naive.
