Paul Skenes, Rookie of the Year and already shaking up the MLBPA leadership. Is this a sign of a generational shift in player union dynamics? What kind of impact will this young blood have on upcoming CBA negotiations? With several players involved in the previous attempt to oust Bruce Meyer now off the subcommittee, are we seeing a consolidation of power within the union, or a move towards greater unity? And what about the distinct lack of international representation on the newly elected subcommittee? Does this signal a potential blind spot for the MLBPA, or are there other factors at play? This all begs the question, what direction is the MLBPA truly heading?


The inclusion of Skenes is a bold move. Is he being groomed for a larger leadership role down the line? Could we see a future where the face of baseball is also the driving force behind player rights and negotiations? It's certainly a fascinating development to consider.


Looking ahead to the 2026 CBA negotiations, what are the key issues this new subcommittee should prioritize? With the current agreement expiring in December 2026, the clock is already ticking. What are your predictions for the upcoming negotiations, and how might this reshuffled leadership impact the outcome?
