MLBPA Director to resign

In late 2024, an anonymous whistleblower lodged a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board about Tony Clark that alleged all sorts of fun stuff: self-dealing, nepotism, misuse of resources, and abuse of power. Oh boy.
Clark and the MLBPA lawyered up in response with different representation teams.
The investigation appears to be related, at least in part, to how Clark and potentially other MLBPA functionaries who wore different “hats” between serving the MLBPA and working for OneTeam, which is a licensing/negotiating arm for the MLBPA, NFLPA, and a bunch of other player organizations, did or didn’t separate those dealings and/or enrich themselves as a result of serving both roles. I’m not entirely sure how that intersects with the entirety of the initial whistleblower complaint, so that’s a bit of a gray area for me.

I'm trying to be optimistic, so hopefully this leads to a change in MLBPA leadership that results in a 2027 season.

It's going to be a long road. If players agreed to a salary cap, that's tough to put that paste back in the tube. I don't see that happening. And I'd rather they get the money than the owners. Plenty owners have already shown that they don't actively care but will whine about the Dodgers trying/willing to do whatever to win.

Tony Clark is awful. This is a good thing.

One gets you a divorce, the other gets you a divorce, fractured blood family, and an arse beating.

Representing players as a whole via the union, then negotiating individual player marketing deals, seems like an obvious conflict of interest.
Let the player agents negotiate marketing deals.

Tony Clark and his wife.

It's not his fault. It's our fault for denying him opportunities.

Confirmed it is his wife's sister. No name or photo that I have seen.

The Dodgers having a payroll 10x more than some teams isnt a sustainable model
A reasonable cap and floor needs to happen.
