Collusion II gives
12 players freedom
NEW YORK (AP) — Pitchers Jim
Clancy of Toronto and Doyle Alexan
der of Detroit were among 12 players
granted “new-look” free agency by
an arbitrator Monday in the 1986 col
lusion case.
Catchers Rich Gedman of Boston.
Ernie Whitt of Toronto. Bob Boone
of California and Alan Ashby of
Houston also were made free agents
by arbitrator George Nicolau. Other
players granted free agency were
pitcher Ron Guidry, infieldcr Willie
Randolph and outfielder Claudell
Washington of the New York Yan
kees and outfielder Brian Downing of
the Angels.
In addition, Roberts granted new-
look free agency to pitchers Ken Day-
ley of St. Louis and Roy Smith of
Minnesota. They became free agents
Dec. 21, 1986, when their clubs
failed to offer them contracts for the
1987 season. They re-signed with
their former teams after receiving no
other offers.
The 12 players have until Dec. 16
to accept contracts with new teams or
remain with their current clubs. In a
similar process, arbitrator Thomas
Roberts made seven players from the
first case free agents last January, and
Kirk Gibson left Detroit to sign a
$4.5-million, three-year contract with
Los Angeles.
“These . . . players are entiled to
immediate relief and are hereby af
forded the opportunity to seek em
ployment, free from the clubs’ viola
tion of the basic agreement,’’ Nicolau
wrote in a nine-page opinion.
Two other players were included in
Nicolau's decision but will not be af
fected. Outfielder Tim Raines of
Montreal waived his new-look rights
Sunday when he agreed to a $6.3-
million, three-year contract with the
Expos. Infielder Dave Concepcion
was made a free agent even though he
has been one since the Cincinnati
Reds released him Oct. 6.
“I think it’s no secret that we
thought the order should have been
broader,’’ said Donald Fehr, exec
utive director of the Major League
Baseball Players Association. ‘T
think this will give us a good indica
tion of what clubs are up to. Every
body’s been crying there’s no catch
ers. And everybody’s been crying
there’s no pitchers. Here's a group
that has catchers and pitchers.”
The union had asked that Nicolau
make 33 other players free agents
again, including pitcher Jack Morris
of the Detroit Tigers. Most players in
this category also were free agents af
ter the 1987 season and are part of the
Collusion III case.
“Inasmuch as those hearings are
by no means concluded, permitting
players to invalidate those contracts
at this time would, in effect, pre
judge the evidence in that proceed
ing,” Nicolau wrote.
