The Major League Baseball Players Association unanimously elected Bruce Meyer as its new executive director Wednesday night, replacing Tony Clark the day after he resigned amid scandal less than a year before the expiration of MLB's collective bargaining agreement.

Clark resigned Tuesday following an internal investigation that revealed an inappropriate relationship with his sister-in-law, whom the union had hired in 2023. A federal investigation into the MLBPA concerning questions about its finances and governance prompted the union to hire an independent lawyer, whose inquiry exposed the inappropriate relationship.

Player leaders had been girding for Clark's departure, though the timing of it -- on the day he was supposed to address the Cleveland Guardians on the first stop of the union's tour of all 30 camps -- left them scrambling. By Wednesday morning, prior to their election, Meyer and Nussbaum were leading a meeting with the Kansas City Royals and reiterating the union's firm anti-cap stance.
