Commissioner Election Vote Scheduled For Next Week; Manfred Expected To Be Re-El
ected
Major League Baseball’s owners will vote next week to determine whether to keep
Rob Manfred as commissioner, report Evan Drellich and Ken Rosenthal of the Athl
etic. There’s little intrigue expected with the outcome, as one person told The
Athletic it’s “a foregone conclusion” Manfred will be re-elected.
That’s no surprise. The last time Manfred’s job was up for debate — over the
2018-19 offseason — he was unanimously approved for a five-year extension. Manf
red will only need to secure a simple majority for an extension, with 16 of the
30 ownership representatives approving. He’ll almost certainly get that and cou
ld have a chance at another unanimous vote.
The terms of a new extension aren’t clear. Manfred’s current deal runs through
2024. If he’s re-upped for another five years, that’d take him through the ’
29 campaign.
Within the past few seasons, MLB and the Players Association were at odds both r
egarding the return-to-play measures during the 2020 pandemic peak and saw the f
irst official work stoppage in more than two decades with the 2021-22 lockout. M
LB revenues reportedly bounced back above pre-pandemic levels once the CBA was h
ammered out last spring, however. Manfred told Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles T
imes towards the end of last season that league revenues were approaching a reco
rd $11 billion for 2022. Manfred first took over as commissioner in November 201
4.
