MLBPA Chief Tony Clark Resigns Amid Scandal

Tony Clark resigned as MLBPA chief following revelations of an inappropriate relationship with his sister-in-law, a union employee, prompting internal discussions about his replacement.

The union's executive council supported Bruce Meyer as interim replacement, but some players opposed him. No vote was taken during Tuesday's conference call, with another meeting scheduled for Wednesday.

Clark still faces a federal investigation while the union prepares for upcoming collective bargaining negotiations. Meyer is scheduled to address media after meeting with Kansas City Royals players.
