BASEBALL : DAILY REPORT : AROUND THE MAJORS : Players Name 4 Clubs in Grievance
The Major League Baseball Players Assn. charged that four clubs, including the Dodgers, released players during spring training to save money and filed a grievance against the teams.
The union charged that Valenzuela with the Dodgers, Pete Incaviglia (Texas), Oddibe McDowell (Atlanta) and Mike Aldrete (Montreal) were let go for reasons not allowed in the uniform player’s contract.
Under the uniform contract, a player can be released only for lack of skill, breach of contract or detrimental conduct. Clubs may not release players to save money.
