Union executive director Michael Weiner issued a statement denouncing Arizona's new immigration law, which has sparked widespread protests over the last few days -- including one outside Wrigley Field Thursday as the Diamondbacks played the Cubs. The meat of the statement, which Weiner said reflects the "institutional position" of the union and was arrived at after consultation with the members, reads as follows: The Major League Baseball Players Association opposes this law as written. We hope that the law is repealed or modified promptly. If the current law goes into effect, the MLBPA will consider additional steps necessary to protect the rights and interests of our members. While the Diamondbacks have said they will not take a stand as an organization on the issue, Weiner's statement makes the union's displeasure with Senate Bill 1070 abundantly clear. Not that the "additional steps" the union would take in response are clear, but missives like this are best kept a bit vague.
