Rob Manfred: MLB's Decision To Reinstate Pete Rose ‘overdue'
Rob Manfred calls MLB's decision to reinstate Pete Rose 'overdue' (AP Photo/Gary Landers, File) MLB commissioner Rob Manfred admitted that baseball is 'living up to the deal they originally made with Pete Rose' when he defended his move to reinstate Rose, "Shoeless" Joe Jackson and other banished players. The decision, Manfred said, was 'overdue,' when he pulled the banned players off of MLB's permanently ineligible list, which created a pathway for Rose and Jackson's induction into baseball's Hall of Fame. Manfred said during an interview on 'CBS Mornings" that the reinstatements are 'a matter of logic" because 'there's no reason to have a person who has passed away still on that list.' Manfred acknowledged that Rose is 'a part of the history of our game.' The commissioner added, 'Every other player, including Shoeless Joe Jackson, has been considered by the Hall of Fame and they've made a decision. I saw no reason to leave Pete Rose out there as one of one, no consideration.' Manfred delved into the ramifications of Rose's banishment that the all-time hit king agreed upon in a settlement with then-commissioner A. Bartlett Giamatti in August 1989. "I think what people don't realize is Pete Rose wasn't disciplined by commissioner Giamatti," Manfred said. "He entered a settlement agreement with the league. At the time they entered into that settlement, he went on the permanently ineligible list knowing that the rules allowed the Hall of Fame to consider him. Commissioner Giamatti went out, had a press conference the day of the settlement and he was asked about the Hall of Fame and he said this settlement should have nothing to do with the Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame should consider Pete Rose under its existing rules. So I see the decision as baseball living up to the deal that they originally made with Pete Rose." In 1991, the Hall of Fame enacted a rule that any player on a banned list would be ineligible for the Hall of Fame. It should be noted that Rose's name has never appeared on a Hall of Fame ballot. Manfred said his decision to reinstate Rose was challenging, highlighting the emotions from the fans. "Yeah, it's a difficult decision because people are passionate about issues like this," Manfred said. "When you come up the side of the business that I came up, living up to your agreements is a really important thing and this was overdue, in my opinion." On the heels of Manfred's decision, Jane Forbes Clark, chairwoman of the board of the Hall of Fame, said Rose, Jackson and others will be considered by the Historical Overview Committee, which will "develop the ballot of eight names for the Classic Baseball Era Committee ... to vote on when it next meets in December 2027." Rose and Jackson would need 12 of 16 votes to earn induction into the Hall of Fame. Manfred's decision to reinstate the banished ballplayers followed President Donald Trump saying in March that he'll posthumously pardon Rose. Trump posted on Truth Social on Friday night that Rose 'shouldn't have been gambling on baseball, but only bet on HIS TEAM WINNING.'

Rob Manfred calls MLB's decision to reinstate Pete Rose ‘overdue'
Rob Manfred defended his choice to reinstate Pete Rose, 'Shoeless' Joe Jackson and other deceased banned players. Manfred, who made the decision May 13 after removing them from the permanently ineligible list, explained his reasoning behind the reinstatement during a Thursday interview on 'CBS Mornings,' saying that it was 'overdue.' 'I would say three things,' Manfred said. 'No. 1: Our permanently ineligible list is effectively a ban on working in the game. This is a matter of logic. There's no reason to have a person who has passed away still on that list. No. 2: Pete Rose is a part of the history of our game.

Alexis Diaz trade: Dodgers get former All-Star reliever in deal with Reds
Alexis Diaz trade: Dodgers get former All-Star reliever in deal with Reds Show Caption Hide Caption Pete Rose now eligible for Hall of Fame after years of ineligibility USA TODAY Sports' Bob Nightengale discusses Pete Rose now being eligible for the Hall of Fame and what it means for the steroid era players. Sports Pulse CHICAGO – In a move that was months in coming, the Cincinnati Reds have moved on from former All-Star closer Alexis Díaz. The Reds and Dodgers have agreed to a trade to send Diaz to Los Angeles for a minor leaguer, the club announced Thursday, May 29. Diaz had struggled since the second half of his 2023 All-Star season, eventually giving way to veteran Emilio Pagán as the closer this season. Diaz has been in the minors since the club optioned him to Class AAA Louisville on April 30 after command issues persisted into the early season. In six appearances with the Reds this season, he allowed eight runs on five walks and eight hits, including four home runs, in just six innings. He also hit two batters and had just three strikeouts. The Reds received minor league right-handed pitcher Mike Villani in the deal. Villani, who was drafted in the 13th round out of Long Beach State last year, just made his professional debut this week, in rookie ball.

MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred calls decision to take Pete Rose off permanently ineligible list 'difficult'
Major League Baseball removed Pete Rose from its permanently ineligible list earlier this month. MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said that the decision to reinstate Rose was "difficult." "It's a difficult decision because people are passionate about issues like this," Manfred said in a recent appearance on "CBS Mornings." "When you come up (on) the side of the business that I came up, living up to your agreements is a really important thing and this was overdue in my opinion." Manfred said there were three different factors that drove the decision to reinstate MLB's hit king. "Number one: Our permanently ineligible list is effectively a ban on working in the game. This is a matter of logic. There's no reason to have a person who has passed away still on that list. Number two: Pete Rose is a part of the history of our game. Every other player, including 'Shoeless' Joe Jackson, has been considered by the Hall of Fame and they've made a decision. I saw no reason to leave Pete Rose out there as one of one, no consideration," Manfred said. "And then, last, I think what people don't realize is Pete Rose wasn't disciplined by commissioner (Bart) Giamatti. He entered a settlement agreement with the league. At the time they entered into that settlement, he went on the permanently ineligible list knowing that the rules allowed the Hall of Fame to consider him. Commissioner Giamatti went out, had a press conference the day of the settlement and he was asked about the Hall of Fame and he said this settlement should have nothing to do with the Hall of Fame," Manfred said. "The Hall of Fame should consider Pete Rose under its existing rules. So I see the decision as baseball living up to the deal that they originally made with Pete Rose." Rose died at age 83 in September 2024, but the debate about whether he should be in the Hall of Fame has raged on. The Cincinnati Reds star became a polarizing figure when news of his gambling on games rocked the sports world. Rose received a lifetime ban from MLB in 1989, but after his removal from the permanently ineligible list, will be eligible to be voted on for the first time. Rose is MLB's hit king with 4,256 career hits. He was the National League MVP in 1974 and was a 17-time All-Star, a three-time World Series champion and a three-time batting champion.
