With a season to go before a likely labor battle with the league, the MLB Players’ Association amassed total assets of $519.3M in 2025, up from $353.1M in 2024, according to its annual LM-2 filing with the Dept. of Labor. Assets rose $166M year-over-year, a jump of nearly 47%, as the union stockpiles cash ahead of the next round of labor negotiations.
The union has continued withholding group licensing checks from players while building its war chest as a lockout looms, with the current collective bargaining agreement set to expire in December. MLB teams have amassed a war chest of about $2B combined. The union’s total liabilities for 2025 were $7.8M compared to $4.9M in 2024.
Former executive director Tony Clark made $3.58M in 2025, his final year at the helm before his sudden resignation. Interim Exec Dir Bruce Meyer made $1.56M in 2025, his final year as Deputy. Interim Deputy Matt Nussbaum made nearly $917,000 in 2025 when he was General Counsel. Total employee disbursements for the MLBPA in 2025 were $26.6M.
Top payees were Fanatics at $106M (from $94.4M in 2024), OneTeam Partners at $40.2M (from $44.5M) and MLB Advanced Media at $16.7M (from $16.2M).
