Strike Averted

MLS Players and Owners finally agreed to terms on a new CBA merely a day before the strike deadline was about to hit. Free Agency wasn't quite accomplished, but the minimum salary was raised from 21,000 to 40,000 and players have greater rights to movement once their contracts expire. Overall I'd say it was a pretty fair compromise between the two. If anyone got the better of it, I would say the players set themselves up pretty nice to make even more headway in 5 years when the two sides go at it again. Players have never really garnered any kind of control over anything, this is the first sign that things are starting to balance out.
