Tony Clark Resigns as MLBPA Director Due to Inappropriate Relationship
Updating a previous report, Major League Baseball Players Association executive director Tony Clark resigned from his position on Tuesday after an internal investigation revealed he had an inappropriate relationship with his sister-in-law, who had been hired by the union in 2023, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan. The 53-year-old is stepping down just months before the league's Collective Bargaining Agreement is set to expire. The union and MLB owners are expected to engage in a labor battle ahead of the new CBA, which many expect could lead to a lockout ahead of the 2027 MLB season. Owners are expected to push hard for a salary cap, which is something the players have opposed for years. Clark played a major role in helping negotiate previous CBAs for the players. Deputy executive director Bruce Meyer also played a big role in the 2022 CBA negotiations, and he is the most likely candidate to replace Clark.
