There's some vague wording in the CBA so I think the answer is we won't know until they try. I anticipate something akin to the arbitration process -- MLB won't come down too hard because they're not sure what line they might cross that would cause the MLBPA to sue, and correspondingly the Cardinals will accept whatever punishment gets sent down in the interest of cooperation and image-repair.
