Major League baseball commissioner Rob Manfred confirmed that he would make a decision about the continuation of Pete Rose’s ban on the baseball shortly after he met with President Donald Trump to discuss the issue.
Manfred spoke at the meeting of Associated Press sports editors at the White House on Monday. The meeting, which was initially reported by the Washington Post, took place on 16 April.
“I met President Trump two weeks ago … And one of the issues was Pete Rose, but I’m not going beyond that.” He said. “He said they were open to the public. I’m not going beyond that about what happened back and forth.”
When Trump announced on February 28, the reality of the social media platform, Social, when he announced at Social, “Pete Rose will be completely forgiven”, took a posture on the ban of Rose.
President, Rose’un “should not gamble in baseball, only the team wins,” he said. It has not yet followed any amnesty and it is unclear whether the player will cover the legal problems. In 1990, Rose was sentenced to five months in prison for tax evasion.
With 4.256 of the baseball, Hit leader Rose died on September 30, 83 at the age of 83. One day, he wanted to be restored by the league to be included in the Baseball Honor List one day.
Jeffrey Lenkov, a lawyer representing Rose, filed a petition to the league, which aims to remove the inappropriate list after Rose’s death in January.
The Manfred did not offer a timeline for the decision.
“I won’t give it a mobile veto,” Manfred said. “Actually, I will make a decision.”
If Rose was restored, it would have to be nominated by the Historical Overview Committee of Hall of Fame in order to be entitled to be entitled to the classic baseball period.
Manfred also said Trump is also interested in MLB’s migration policies affecting foreign -born players from countries such as Cuba, Venezuela and the Dominican Republic.
“Considering the number of foreign -born players we have, we are always worried about entry and exit.” He said. He continued: “We have established dialogue with the management on this issue. And you know, they are very interested in sports. They understand a unique need to go back and I will leave it.”
