PHOENIX — National League Rookie of the Year Paul Skenes was elected to the players' association eight-man executive subcommittee just six months after his big league debut as three players were dropped who had advocated for the ouster of union deputy executive director Bruce Meyer. Also new to the committee are American League Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal of Detroit, Toronto pitcher Chris Bassitt, San Diego infielder Jake Cronenworth, Tampa Bay pitcher Pete Fairbanks and Baltimore outfielder Cedric Mullins. Texas infielder Marcus Semien and Cincinnati pitcher Brent Suter remain on the committee, with Semien the only holdover from the 2021-22 lockout.
