Instant replay--maybe.

I do not see the Umpires as having much say in the matter if both the owners and players union approve.

They may have contractual right of approval.

I am not certain but if the GM's voted 25-5 then it stands to reason that for all practical purposes the owners have already given their vote of confidence.

Not necessarily. It wouldn't be the first time that owners voted the opposite of the GM's.

Therefore, all that is left is for the players union to agree and then it is a done deal.

Perhaps.
