- Rob Manfred can talk all he wants about the illogic in keeping dead people banned but he never would've done this if Donald Trump hadn't inserted himself into this. He did it specifically to please Trump and/or in an effort to head off Trump fucking with Major League Baseball.
- True. Which means the next step for Trump and Rose dead-enders is to try to change that process. I bet they will try and I would not bet on Manfred and/or Jane Forbes Clark holding firm on that. There will be a "special election" or criminals and gamblers, just you watch. bsky.app/profile/real...
- Anyway: if you cave to Trump, he demands more of you. We've seen this over and over. Good going, Rob Manfred. You just appointed Donald Trump Shadow Commissioner of Baseball.May 13, 2025 20:16
- Life long baseball fan here. I am beyond disgusted by this decision (and as a child I worshipped the Big Red Machine).
- How long until Trump dangles revoking their antitrust exemption for something else he wants from them?
