00:00The feds are investigating a youth baseball company that was created and owned by the Major

00:04League Baseball Players Association for misusing millions of dollars. Is nothing sacred? Not even

00:11the kids? The MLBPA is the union for all of the big baseball stars you love. Shohei Ohtani, Aaron

00:17Judge, all of them. Now they created a company called Players Way, which is based in Florida.

00:22The company has spent 3.9 million bucks, but has not brought in nearly that much money, which is

00:28what made the feds perk up. The U.S. Attorney's Office in Brooklyn, yes, the very same one that

00:34brought you last week's big sports scandal with the mafia and the NBA, they're also investigating

00:39this according to ESPN. Players Way launched in 2019 as the official youth development initiative

00:46of the MLBPA, and it's supported by both current and former players. If you have a kid that plays

00:51club sports of any kind, you know how this works, but maybe not this part. The executive director of

00:55the association, Tony Clark, allegedly approved big, fat, six-figure payments to Players Way,

01:02which an ex-official called a, quote, total waste of money. Then, last year, an anonymous complaint

01:08was filed accusing Clark of self-dealing, misuse of resources, and abuse of power. It also added

01:14claims of nepotism because his daughter once worked for the group. As if that weren't enough,

01:19Players Way held only about a dozen events between 2019 and 2024, but once word of the investigation,

01:25got to them, surprise, all of a sudden, more events. Now, no charges have been filed yet,

01:30but this is one I'm going to be sure to keep an eye on.
