The Major League Baseball Players Association elected Bruce Meyer as its new executive director Wednesday, sources told ESPN, replacing Tony Clark the day after he resigned amid scandal less than a year before the expiration of MLB's collective-bargaining agreement.
Meyer, previously the union's deputy executive director, ascended to the top spot at a crucial moment for the MLBPA. With owners pushing for a salary cap and prepared to lock out the players Dec. 1 should they not reach a new deal, players are bracing for an extended work stoppage as they attempt to stave off the league's efforts.
