As the CBA presumably allows for suspensions for off-the-field arrests and other criminal behavior, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to apply it to players who have broken U.S. law.

That being said, the union would put up a hell of a legal battle which is why I doubt Selig would go through with it (far more trouble than it's worth).

wouldn't the players have to be convicted/ indicted in a real criminal court for the MLB to do anything?
