• The head of the MLB players union stepped down after an internal investigation reportedly discovered that he had an affair, ESPN reported
• Executive director Tony Clark allegedly engaged in an inappropriate relationship with his sister-in-law, who worked within the organization, sources told ESPN
• Prior to his role as an executive, Clark played in the MLB from 1995 to 2009

The head of the Major League Baseball players union has stepped down, reportedly after an extramarital affair with his sister-in-law.

On Tuesday, Feb. 17, the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) announced via social media that the 53-year-old resigned as executive director.

That same day, ESPN and The Athleticreported that the decision followed after an internal investigation discovered Clark, who is married to Frances Clark, engaged in an inappropriate relationship with his sister-in-law, who has worked with the union for over two years.

The internal investigation reportedly began after a federal investigation into union finances was launched last year, ESPN reported at the time.

PEOPLE reached out to Tony's attorney, Daniel Collins, for comment.

“Clark joined the MLBPA staff as director of player relations in 2010 and succeeded Michael Weiner as executive director in 2013. He was the first former player to serve in the role,” the organization said of the former first baseman. 

Tony was active in the MLB from 1995 to 2009 before becoming the sixth executive director of the MLBPA.

“The full executive board of Player representatives met this afternoon with MLBPA staff and outside counsel to discuss next steps; as always, the Players remain focused on their ongoing preparations for collective bargaining this year. The strength of this union is -- and will always be - the solidarity of our membership,” the statement continued.

"We have a long history of fighting for the rights of every Player, and we're committed to making sure we can continue that fight successfully."

Tarik Skubal, a pitcher for the Detroit Tigers and member of the MLBPA’s eight-person executive subcommittee, told MLive the situation was "tough."

“Obviously, I haven’t really seen everything that’s come out," he continued. "I know we have a call this afternoon, and we’ll get more information on it and how to communicate it to the rest of our team.”

Skubal stayed optimistic about the future of the union.

“I think we’re still as strong as ever. The union’s always been about the players, and it’s up to us to accomplish what we want to accomplish,” Skubal added. 

Skubal told MLive he has faith that union chief negotiator Bruce Meyer will be able to make sure contract negotiations won’t be negatively affected in Tony’s absence. Meyer was unanimously selected to be the union's interim executive director, ESPN reports.

“Bruce has been our lead negotiator, and he’s done it in the past. Although Tony’s kind of been the face of the [MLBPA] in terms of negotiating, I’m still as confident as ever in Bruce and everyone else that we got behind him," Skubal told MLive. "I think there’s a lot of strong people in the PA and very valuable people that are going to work for us and try to accomplish what we want to accomplish when it comes to bargaining time.”

Clark's resignation comes months before the current collective bargaining agreement expires at 11:59 p.m. ET on Dec. 1, which could spark a lockout if the union and MLB don't reach a deal.

Meyer told The Chicago-Sun Times on Wednesday, Feb. 18, that a lockout "is all but guaranteed at the end of the agreement" as the league pushes for a salary cap.

Still, he added that Clark's departure "is not going to affect collective bargaining in any way, really."

"And we've just got to make sure we put the players in the best position to understand what’s going on, make whatever informed decisions they’re going to make," he continued. "And whatever that takes, we’re committed to do.”
