The union's leadership transition faces uncertainty after Clark's resignation. While executive council members expressed support for Bruce Meyer, Clark's potential replacement, at least three players opposed the move during a conference call. No vote was taken, with players scheduled to reconvene Wednesday.
Clark was cleared of financial misconduct but faces a federal investigation. The union postponed spring training meetings with Cleveland Guardians and Chicago White Sox but Meyer is expected to meet with Kansas City Royals players Wednesday morning.
