Fehr announced his decision to retire on June 22, stepping down from a position he had held since December of 1983.
At the same time, Fehr recommended that Weiner take his place, and the Executive Board on July 7 gave its approval. The MLBPA's endorsement vote announced Friday was an overwhelming majority of 1,055 to four.
"I congratulate Michael on securing this extraordinary vote of confidence," said Fehr in a statement.
The Executive Board is expected to take a final vote during its annual meeting from November 30 through December 3 in Scottsdale, Arizona.
