Negotiation and Approval of Contracts. A Player, if he so desires, may designate an agent to conduct on his behalf, or to assist him in, the negotiation of an individual salary and/or Special Covenants to be included in his Uniform Player’s Con- tract with any Club, provided such agent has been certified to the Clubs by the Association as authorized to act as a Player Agent for such purposes. The Association shall provide the Office of the Commissioner with a comprehensive list of the certified Player Agent(s) whom each Player has designated to act on his behalf for the purposes described in this Article IV. The Association also shall provide the Office of the Com- missioner with any changes to such Player Agent designations, includ- ing the Player Agent designations of Players who have been added to a Major League roster, on a weekly basis. In addition, the Association will provide the Office of the Commissioner with notice of any revi- sions to its regulations governing Player Agents, and a complete copy of the revised regulations. If the Association has notified the Office of the Commissioner that a Player has designated a certified Player Agent or Agents to act on his behalf for the purposes described in this Article IV, no Club may nego- tiate or attempt to negotiate an individual salary and/or Special Covenants to be included in a Uniform Player’s Contract with any Player Agent(s) other than such Player Agent(s). No agent designation shall be considered effective unless it was transmitted from the Asso- ciation to the Office of the Commissioner. A Club may require a Player’s physical presence only once during con- tract negotiations. This limitation shall not apply to telephone confer- ence calls, at reasonable times, with a Player and his certified Player Agent. A Player required to be physically present during negotiations during the offseason shall be entitled to be paid by the Club for round- trip first-class transportation and first-class hotel costs, and a daily meal and tip allowance, at the same rate as the in-season meal and tip allowance provided under Article VII(B) for the immediately preced- ing season, for that day and any additional travel days. Upon execution of a Uniform Player’s Contract by the Club and Player, the Club promptly shall submit the Contract, in duplicate, to the Commissioner for approval. Within 20 days of receipt, the Com- missioner shall approve or disapprove the Contract (with notice to the Association), or provide the Association with a written explanat...
