It 's been 20 years since baseball players and owners agreed to settle salary disputes through arbitration. The system has been widely criticized by both players and owners. Some owners think that the process favors players because they end up getting big pay raises whether they win or lose in arbitration. The author discusses the pros and cons of the system, some solutions offered by both parties, and the difficulty in reaching a consensus on what changes should be made.
