The international FA stuff was starting to get expensive as well. The Yankees and Red Sox could still buy the players they wanted and costs were going through the roof. If anyone gets screwed by the CBA, it's the international FA's themselves who are going to see their paydays crash. Many of these players will only see one payday in their lifetime.
It also places a premium on draft picks because they can't overspend in the international market to suppliment their farm system.
