Spring Training rolls on for the Arizona Diamondbacks, but a massive labor cloud is already forming over all of Major League Baseball. Reports that Tony Clark, former D-back and chief executive of the Major League Baseball Players Association, is stepping down amid multiple scandals have sent shockwaves through the league as all of baseball prepares for the upcoming CBA battle. We break down the internal investigation, the fallout from Clark’s resignation, and what this sudden leadership change could mean for players as the current agreement nears expiration.
Plus, we dive into MLB’s decision to remove the strike zone from TV broadcasts with the ABS challenge system now in place…and why this entire rollout feels unnecessarily dumb. We also wrap up with the latest from D-backs camp, including the unsettled left-field situation for Opening Day and which promotional giveaways we absolutely need in our lives.
