## Resource

Bobby and Alex drop an instant (read: 12 hours later) reaction to the stunning news that Tony Clark has resigned as Executive Director of the Major League Baseball Players Association amid the revelation that he engaged in an improper relationship with his sister-in-law, a staffer at MLBPA. They discuss what this means — if anything — for 2026 CBA negotiations, Clark’s legacy as Executive Director, whether the role has become one exclusively for former players, and more.
