MLBPA Chief Clark Resigns Over Scandal

MLBPA executive director Tony Clark resigned following an internal investigation into an inappropriate relationship with his sister-in-law, a union employee.

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.
