Tony Clark Comments on Availability of Medical Information in MLB, More

In light of Yovani Gallardo's new contract with the Baltimore Orioles, MLB Players Association chief Tony Clark believes medical information should be more confidential.

When meeting with reporters Saturday at Ed Smith Stadium—the spring training home of the Orioles—Clark was critical of medical records leaking to the public, per Peter Schmuck of the Baltimore Sun:

Medical information shouldn't be public. There's a reason why individuals’ medical information is protected. The idea that those who shouldn't have access to it have access to it and feel compelled to offer it is a concern.
