(CNN) — The Major League Baseball Players Association has elected a new executive director following the sudden departure of Tony Clark, who had led the union for over a decade.

Bruce Meyer will serve as the sixth executive director in the history of the MLBPA, the union announced.

Player leadership – 72 major and minor league members of the executive board – voted unanimously on Wednesday to make Meyer, previously the deputy director and lead labor negotiator, the interim executive director. Matt Nussbaum, previously the MLBPA general counsel, will serve as interim deputy executive director.

Meyer, an at-times combative career litigator, was brought in from the NHL Players Association in 2018 to add muscle to a bargaining team that was viewed as having surrendered ground in the negotiations for the 2017-2021 CBA, which was almost immediately panned as a loss for the players.

He led the players in bargaining for the most recent CBA. Despite a 99-day lockout, no games were missed and the players were able to address some concerns like service-time manipulation and funneling more money to early career standouts.

In early 2024, a faction of players attempted to oust Meyer as part of an internal power struggle that followed the incorporation of minor league players into the union. The attempted coup failed and the players responsible were later voted off the executive subcommittee.

Meyer was already set to lead the players’ side in the forthcoming CBA negotiations, which are expected to once again grapple with the existential question long facing baseball’s financial structure: The owners’ desire to implement a salary cap.

Now he will do so as the preeminent union leader.

Clark’s shocking resignation

Clark resigned abruptly this week as the executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association after allegations of personal misconduct came to light.

ESPN first reported Tuesday that Clark’s resignation was prompted due to an inappropriate relationship with his sister-in-law, who was hired as a union employee in 2023.

Sources confirmed to CNN Sports on Wednesday that, after an outside firm was retained in response to federal investigations, Clark was discovered to have had an inappropriate with a subordinate who is also his sister-in-law.

The timing of the resignation shocked players and union staff. Clark was scheduled to start his annual tour of spring training camps on Tuesday. More critically, the current CBA is set tio expire on December 1 of this year, at which point it seems likely that the owners will lock out the players.

Clark, 53, is a former player who ascended to the union’s executive director role in 2013 following the death of Michael Weiner. But more recently, Clark’s tenure has been marred by dissent and distractions.

In 2025, it was revealed that Clark and the MLBPA were subjects of a federal investigation regarding revenue from licensing agreements. At the time, Clark and the MLBPA hired separate lawyers, according to reports.

Later, ESPN reported that Clark was also the subject of an investigation into a youth baseball initiative by the MLBPA that appeared to be enriching executives.

Se deslizo en la pista de una manera abrumadoramente maravillosa. Empoderado, dueño total de la situación, se permitió en los segundos finales saludar al público que lo aclamaba desde las gradas. Y es que Johannes Klaebo inmortalizó su nombre en la eternidad el último domingo en los Alpes italianos.

Ganar el oro en la prueba de relevos por equipo de 4×7,5 kilómetros en la versión masculina fue la ratificación de que su maestría en la pista es colosal.

El atleta de 29 años está en la cima de su carrera. Sin embargo, administra con templanza este resonante éxito, no alardea y se permite absorber la rebosante adrenalina que significa el momento de gloria: “Me gusta como suena. Es un título muy bonito”, manifestó Klaebo luego de la competencia.

Este momento cumbre en lo personal para Klaebo también tiene su resonancia en la historia del olimpismo invernal y en la de su propio país. Con el del domingo, el atleta llegó a su noveno oro en la historia, superando a sus compatriotas Bjorn Dahelie, Marit Bjorgen y Ole Einar Bjorndalen, con quienes estaba empatado en ocho desde el viernes, cuando ganó la presea dorada en los 10 km estilo libre.

“Es especial hacer esto junto con este grupo. En Noruega, ganar el relevo es lo que realmente importa, y hoy todos lo hemos dado todo”, dijo el atleta.

La magnitud de lo que significa para Noruega quedó registrada, no solo en la gran cantidad de aficionados que llegaron a Italia para vivenciar esta prueba, sino porque también allí se encontraba el primer ministro de Noruega, Jonas Gahr Støre.

“Con el esfuerzo del equipo de hoy, Klaebo se convierte en el atleta olímpico de invierno de todos los tiempos”, posteó Støre en las redes sociales.

En gran parte del mundo, los niños sueñan con tener un balón para jugar al fútbol. Noruega no es la excepción. Allí también el fútbol es pasión, pero, no obstante, los jóvenes también sueñan con el esquí. Esto es lo que le pasó a Johannes Klaebo, quien confesó a la página oficial de estos Juegos Olímpicos en Milano-Cortina que a los dos años recibió de su abuelo un par de esquís como regalo de Navidad.
Según narra en el portal, Johannes esquiaba en el salón de su casa todo el día.

Ganó su primer Globo de Cristal (en el sprint) al final de la temporada 2016-2017, siendo su primer suceso en el circuito de la Copa Mundo, y para la 2017-2018 ya era un héroe olímpico en desarrollo en el cross country. Johannes ganó tres medallas de oro en PyeongChang 2018, empatado con el biatleta francés Martin Fourcade como el máximo ganador de primeros puestos en los juegos.

Se transformó, además, en el campeón olímpico más joven en su disciplina, y para el final de esa temporada ya era el ganador más joven del Globo de Cristal de la FIS (Federación Internacional de Esquí y Snowboard).

Su fascinante logro del domingo fue tal, que los propios aficionados suecos (históricos rivales) se sumaron también a la fiesta. Sus aplausos, risas compartidas y felicitaciones fueron una cabal demostración del reconocimiento para Noruega y su poder de fuego en los Alpes italianos. Y en ello, el nombre de Johannes Klaebo tiene una relevancia sustancial.

Klaebo, que también cosechó dos oros en Beijing 2022 y que fue campeón del mundo en 15 ocasiones, agigantó aún más su leyenda este miércoles, cuando sumó su décimo oro en la prueba de sprint por equipos, junto a Einar Hedegart.

Parafraseando el poema de Antonio Machado, “caminante, no hay camino, se hace oro al andar”, parece decirse el nuevo rey de los Juegos Olímpicos de Invierno.
