Tony Clark Is Out! Now What?
The upcoming Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) was already going to be dramatic….and now it’s going to be extra dramatic. Everyone get ready to grab your popcorn, this one is going to be a doozy.
Players just reported to spring training in Arizona and Florida, so as focused as we are on a new season we are also questioning what is going to happen in nine months when the existing agreement expires? That’s very much in the air now that Tony Clark the MLB Players Association Director is resigning, read more HERE. As Clark leaves, baseball is getting ready for it’s most critical labor negotiation in years….and he won’t be around to fight it.
This was going to be a very tough fight already, and now without Clark it gets harder. He’s been instrumental to the players union. He’s accomplished a lot over the last 13 years, including the steady increase in salaries to MLB players. He has been the most consistent and coherent voice for the players, and now the union will need to find a new voice.
The timing of this couldn’t be worse. Without Clark, the union will fill this role soon. They will look to stabilize the union and get ready for what is to come over the winter. According to MLBtraderumors HERE, the next director could be Bruce Meyer who is currently the union’s lead negotiator. He helped Tarik Skubal win his arbitration case against the Tigers and has been gaining support among the players to take over as the new director.
The last CBA negotiation was volatile enough that it resulted in a 99-day lockout led by commissioner Rob Manfred and the owners. This lockout will be even worse. Several owners are advocating for a salary cap, which has been a non-starter for Clark in the past. Now he isn’t here to fight that battle, so right now owners have the upper hand. Meyer has also shared the same view as Clark, so if he does become the new director, it will be interesting to see if he is as successful in the role as Clark was.
The new CBA is going to have new player representation…..and it’s going to be a very bumpy (and probably long) ride. I hope this lockout won’t be as long as I think it will be, but I don’t think we are talking about 99 days on this one. Stay tuned….
