“Vazquez will also represent the MLBPA in winter leagues, tournaments, showcases and other international events.”
He should have added “as long as it’s close to home since I don’t want to be too far away, just like in my playing career.”

The MLBPA has been super effective at a time when most unions are on the defensive. I wonder, though, if having a leadership composed entirely of former players is the right way to go for the future. Maybe it’s OK in times of labor peace, and as a baseball fan I’m happy for that. But it seems to me just from an outside perspective that they’d be better off with a non-player legal expert at the top.
