"The information that really led to this came out within the last ... 72 hours or so, Meyer said on Wednesday. So this is not something that has been kind of sat on. When the information came out, the players on the subcommittee made their feelings known. And Tony, to his credit, he's always been about the players first and Tony decided to take the action he did in the interest of the players."
"The MLBPA asked Clark to resign after an investigation by outside counsel discovered evidence he had an inappropriate relationship with his sister-in-law, who has been a union employee since 2023, a person familiar with the union's deliberations told the Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because that detail was not announced. The relationship was uncovered when the union responded to a federal investigation into its finances and governance by hiring an independent lawyer."
Bruce Meyer was promoted to interim executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association after Tony Clark resigned. Clark resigned after the MLBPA asked him to step down following an outside-counsel investigation that found evidence of an inappropriate relationship with his sister-in-law, a union employee since 2023. The relationship was revealed when the union hired an independent lawyer in response to a federal probe into finances and governance. Players on a subcommittee quickly voiced concerns and Clark resigned, with colleagues noting his player-first stance. Matt Nussbaum was promoted to interim deputy executive director. Meyer joined the union in 2018 and led negotiations during a 99-day lockout.
