Will Tony Clark be booted out as MLBPA President? – Ep. 508

Having a discussion around MLB player union issues can easily make your eyes roll. So we sprinkled in a little Scott Boras since he’s one guy everyone loves to hate.  Except for his clients of course.  When MLB brought in the MiLB players into the union 2 years ago it went kind of quietly but it’s no small deal. 

Rumors of mutiny within the MLBPA have come around Harry Marino who’s been termed an ‘insurgent lawyer’ looking to rankle players into thinking about what Tony Clark and his office has done for them. Or not done. Is it time for a change? 

We talk a little about the history of baseball player unionization which goes back as far as 1885 and Hall of Famer, John Montgomery Ward.  They even discussed salary caps in 1885.
