Sounds like there is disagreement in the "contemplated" proposals themselves. The players can speak of the merits of those proposals without having actual rules in place.
Besides, if it was really so black and white as you suggest, why run the story to begin with? And why would the MLBPA executive director feel a need to say anything? A simple, "Until we see the actual rules in writing, we will not make any comments," would have been more appropriate if that was the case.
