The Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) is a union that represents players on the 40-man Major League rosters and approximately 5,500 Minor League players employed by the 30 Major League baseball teams. They also oversee MLB Players, Inc., which handles the group's commercial and licensing activities. Additionally, the MLBPA operates the Major League Baseball Players Trust, a charitable foundation that supports youth baseball development and various causes directed by its member players.
The MLBPA's group licensing program utilizes the collective marketing power of Major League Baseball players to assist licensees and sponsors in associating their brands and products with the excitement that Major Leaguers can provide. They are also the sole and exclusive bargaining agent for all Major League Baseball players and individuals preparing to negotiate a Major League contract. The MLBPA is committed to improving the lives of those in need through the Players Trust, which allows MLB players to come together and make a positive impact.
