I'm pretty sure that doesn't apply because the fact that the fines were levied AFTER the signing of the CBA, so the blanket statement on past collusion doesn't apply to what appears to be collusion after the CBA.
But anyway, collusion is a legal matter that goes beyond contract law. You can't sign away your right to expose illegal activities.
Well, unless you work for Major League Baseball.
