"Just on a personal level, I think we're all fairly devastated by things that have happened the last 48, 72 hours, Meyer told reporters on Wednesday. It's fair to say that we were all personally upset, concerned about Tony. But I think this was something that players determined had to happen at this particular point in time. Clark's resignation comes about 10 months before MLB's collective bargaining agreement (CBA) expires on Dec. 1, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. ET."
"SCOTTSDALE, Arizona Major League Baseball's impending labor battle took an unexpected turn on Tuesday when Tony Clark, the executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association, suddenly resigned following an internal investigation that revealed he had an inappropriate relationship with his sister-in-law. Clark, 53, had been the executive director since 2013 and had also been under federal investigation by the Eastern District of New York for alleged financial improprieties."
Tony Clark resigned as executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association after an internal investigation found an inappropriate relationship with his sister-in-law. Clark had led the union since 2013 and faced a federal probe by the Eastern District of New York into alleged financial improprieties. MLBPA leadership met but did not name an interim executive director. Deputy executive director Bruce Meyer, the union's lead negotiator, is a leading candidate to replace Clark. The collective bargaining agreement expires Dec. 1, 2026, and a lockout appears likely. Owners seek a salary cap and players are expected to strongly oppose that proposal.
