The union is obligated to defend the players to either shoot holes in flimsy evidence or reduce punishment if evidence is good. If MLB didn't want to enter that argument, where the union exercises its responsibilities, that's MLB's fault, not the union's.

That's really the entire ball game. The union has to defend the players. They have to put up a strong defense and demand that MLB show all evidence. MLB really doesn't want to enter into that arena because it would take years to sort out. They want this scandal behind them quickly.
My only concern is, why did they do nothing to the owner. The fine is pennies on the dollar of what he got from the championship.
