I can see the other side of the argument and how some of you might say well if they are free some people might try to take advantage of free signers but I will still stick to my guns and say all players should sign for free.
I agree with you to a certain extent. I think ALL current players should not charge a dime for their signature. When you are making millions a season, what is another $1,000 at a show. As far as older players like Doerr, Vern Law or the late Virgil Trucks did not make much during their playing days. I believe if they want to charge a modest fee, they are entitled but with that being said, many of the older players love the game and fans and are happy to sign for free. That should be a lesson to the generation of greedy ballplayers that we have today.
