MLBPA will attempt to unionize minor league players

Late Sunday night, the Major League Baseball Players Association sent minor league players authorization cards in an effort to add them to the union. This would be an unprecedented step that would signify massive change on the horizon for baseball.

The Athletic’s Evan Drellich shared the message that was sent to minor league players by MLBPA executive director Tony Clark.

“Everything we’ve achieved as an organization is tied to the players at that time being willing to stand for what they believed was right and fair,” Tony Clark, MLBPA executive director, said in a 4 1/2-minute video message shared with minor-league players.
