US EditionRob Manfred says he discussed Pete Rose’s status with Donald Trump and will rule on reinstatement
- Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred met with President Donald Trump two weeks ago and discussed Pete Rose's status and other issues.
- Manfred is considering a petition filed in January by lawyer Jeffrey Lenkov to posthumously remove Rose from MLB's permanent ban list after Rose's death in September.
- Rose, the career hits leader with 4,256 hits, was permanently banned in 1989 after an investigation showed he bet on the Cincinnati Reds from 1985 to 1987.
- Manfred said reinstating Rose is complicated, declined to set a timeline, and emphasized that legal sports betting should not influence views on Rose's case.
- If reinstated, Rose could become eligible for Hall of Fame consideration by a 16-member committee meeting in December 2027, but reinstatement does not guarantee a ballot spot.
