20 Reasons Rob Manfred Must Be Ousted As MLB Commissioner

Darren - June 18, 2020

2. Embarrassing

We talked earlier about his ‘piece of metal’ in reference to the Commissioner’s Trophy. You would let him off if it wasn’t for the fact that you can’t trust a word that comes out of his mouth. One of the best recent examples was when he said the following.

Manfred said: “The owners are 100% committed to getting baseball back on the field. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you that I’m 100% certain that’s gonna happen.” It’s so transparent what they’re trying to do in reducing the number of games it’s shameless. But how can you say two different things at once?

1. Worse to Come

The problem is that Manfred is just so out of his depth that you have to wonder what is next. Before, not many people knew about him because he was quietly helping to run MLB into the ground. But now his ineptitude is visible for everybody to see. It’s a case of one scandal too many.

And even if he gets past the salary dispute and the league restarts on time, the next question his what will he do next? Nobody except the owners wants him there because he has the charisma and substance of a baked potato. Where will MLB be in another five years? You could certainly argue it would be much better off without him.
