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.

You're talking about the same league that's been found guilty of collusion multiple times and has been fined 10's of millions of dollars for it. The same league that's been trying to do everything it can to distance itself from Bonds and steroids in general. So yeah, I think you're being more than a little naive.
