Can you site an authoritative reference to this? It's the first I've heard of this. Besides, I don't know on what legal argument they could use to stop a salary cap if the other owners agree to it.
That notwithstanding, it's the player's union (as you've pointed out) that rules this kingdom. The owners had the union beat in the spring of 1995, but Sonia Sotomayor suddenly ruled against the owners who were trying to bring parity to the game. The player's union will never allow a salary cap. Ever.
Sotomayor is a Sporting Judge
The way things are now, the player's union will never be broken, baseball will never have economic parity, and the teams with the most money would be stupid not to play within the rules that exist.
