MLB commish Rob Manfred gets extension through January 2029

Major League Baseball's 30 owners voted to extend Rob Manfred as the sport's com
missioner Wednesday, keeping him in place through January 2029.

The deal puts Manfred in line to guide the owners through another round of colle
ctive bargaining, with the current CBA set to expire after the 2026 season.

Manfred, 64, still had one more season remaining on his previous contract and wa
s extended another four years. His new deal will keep him on the job until Jan.
25, 2029, at which point he will be 70.

A lifelong lawyer, Manfred began working with MLB by helping with collective bar
gaining in 1987 and joined the league full time as executive vice president in 1
998, dealing largely in labor relations and economics over the next 17 years.

He officially succeeded Bud Selig as commissioner in January 2015. His latest ex
tension, agreed to during a meeting of owners in Washington, is his second.

"It is an honor to serve the best game in the world and to continue the pursuit
of strengthening our sport on and off the field," Manfred said in a statement. "
This season our players are displaying the most vibrant version of our game, and
 sports fans are responding in a manner that is great for Major League Baseball'
s future. Together, all of us in the game will work toward presenting our sport
at its finest and broadening its reach and impact for our loyal fans."

Manfred has overseen record revenues for the sport. His tenure has also been mar
ked, however, by clear dissension from the players and, by extension, the MLB Pl
ayers' Association, which was exacerbated by his controversial handling of the H
ouston Astros' sign-stealing scandal and culminated in a bitter labor dispute in
 the winter of 2021, prompting a 99-day lockout.

Other moves -- the scaling down of the minor leagues and the Athletics' impendin
g move from Oakland to Las Vegas -- have also been unpopular with fans, but MLB
exceeded $10.8 billion in revenue under Manfred's watch in 2022, rebounding stro
ngly after two years that were severely impacted by the pandemic.

New rule changes, most notably the pitch clock, have been widely popular with fa
ns and people within the sport. Manfred has also been credited with his anticipa
tion of the erosion of the linear cable model, ensuring that fans don't miss the
ir teams' games while Diamond Sports Group navigates bankruptcy proceedings.

The league did not disclose a breakdown of the 30 votes, but voting would not ha
ve taken place if Manfred did not believe he had enough support.

"At a critical moment in the history of our game, Commissioner Manfred has liste
ned to our fans and worked closely with our players to improve America's pastime
," Seattle Mariners chairman John Stanton, who chaired the meeting that approved
 Manfred's extension, wrote in a statement.

"Under his leadership, we have been responsive to the fans' desire for more acti
on and better pace, continued the game's spirit of innovation, expanded MLB's ro
le in youth baseball and softball, and beyond. The significant momentum that MLB
 has built reflects his ongoing initiatives that are advancing the game."

今天大聯盟老闆投票結果出爐

將給現任主席曼佛地魔四年續約,讓他一路主席做到他70歲

現在合約是到明年球季結束後到期

話說他前兩張都五年約,怎麼現在只剩四年呀XD

然後還蠻好奇這段的

The league did not disclose a breakdown of the 30 votes, but voting would not ha
ve taken place if Manfred did not believe he had enough support.

原來覺得自己支持不夠就能先不投喔XD
