Rob Manfred Hints at Shocking Decision on Pete Rose After Secret Talk with Donald Trump

During a chat with the Associated Press Sports Editors, Manfred shared that the discussion spanned quite a few topics — from immigration worries affecting foreign-born players, especially those hailing from Cuba and Venezuela, to the ever-complicated saga of Rose’s eligibility. And if that wasn’t enough, Trump publicly threw his support behind granting Rose a full pardon, stirring the pot even more, especially since Rose’s betting scandal in the ’80s still casts a long shadow.

Now, what’s intriguing is Manfred’s hint at issuing a formal decision soon, putting an end — or maybe a fresh start — for Rose’s controversial legacy within baseball. But don’t get ahead of yourself. Even if reinstated, Rose’s road to the Hall of Fame isn’t a slam dunk; it involves navigating a maze of committees and approvals that could drag on for years.
