"Bruce Meyer has been unanimously elected the new executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association, reports Jeff Passan of ESPN. He'll take over for Tony Clark, who surprisingly resigned yesterday as news emerged that he had an "inappropriate" relationship with his sister-in-law."
"Drellich will just be an interim director, per Evan Drellich of The Athletic, but is expected to hold his job at least through the upcoming collective bargaining negotiations. The current CBA expires on December 1st and another lockout is widely expected. The last lockout dragged into March, so it seems Meyer is positioned to potentially lead the union for a year or more, despite the interim tag."
Bruce Meyer has been unanimously elected executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association. Tony Clark resigned unexpectedly after revelations of an inappropriate relationship with his sister-in-law. Evan Drellich will serve as interim executive director and is expected to retain the role at least through the upcoming collective bargaining negotiations. The current collective bargaining agreement expires on December 1. Another work stoppage is widely expected, and the prior lockout extended into March, delaying the season. Despite the interim designation, Meyer appears positioned to lead the union through the negotiations and could remain in charge for a year or more.
