I've been thinking about running a league with a very high time to free agency but a very short time to arbitration such that players have quite a number of years in arbitration. I was thinking that this is probably the closest you could get to reserve clause era concepts in that you are forced to negotiate with the players. Obviously, the point where it would differ from reality is that they could win their case against you and make you pay what they want, but I figured this could probably be chalked up to a storyline in such a universe.
