The explanation makes sense, and isn't what we were guessing at...

Fair enough, but I'd hate to think we would have had to lose players to Rule 5 just to protect the union's interests.

That answers that question. I don't understand why this took 2 months to figure out when it seems like a 10 minute telephone discussion to me. I was hoping Wagner would decide to come back and force Liberty to pony up some more money, making the Braves bullpen absolutely unbelievable with his return.
