Tony Clark’s inappropriate relationship with sister-in-law sparked MLBPA resignation
NY Post
Tony Clark is stepping down, and it comes with a twist no one saw coming.
Clark resigned as executive director of the MLB Players Association on Tuesday after spending the past 12 years in the role.
But it wasn’t the federal investigation by the Eastern District of New York that brought his reign to an end; instead, according to The Post’s Joel Sherman, it was an inappropriate relationship with his sister-in-law, who worked for the MLBPA.
Clark’s demise comes at a pivotal time for the players union as it enters the final year of its collective bargaining agreement with Major League Baseball. Baseball owners are widely expected to lock the players out after the 2026 season.
The discovery came amid an internal probe that unearthed messages and the union employee, The Athletic reported. Clark was made aware of the findings on Friday, and the players were informed over the weekend, which led to the push to have him resign.
The EDNY was looking into allegations that Clark and the MLBPA had misused funds from a licensing agreement.
