MLB clubs extend Commissioner's term

Major League clubs have voted to extend Commissioner Rob Manfred’s tenure through Jan. 25, 2029, MLB announced Wednesday.

Manfred, who assumed the Commissioner position in January 2015, will remain in the role for the next five full seasons. The extension comes in the midst of a 2023 season in which the league has seen a surge in attendance, national television viewership and social media engagements after a series of revolutionary rule changes that improved the pace of action.

Manfred's lies helped expedite the Athletics move out of Oakland. His moves have helped benefit large market teams over small market teams. There's been no action on his part to address the disparity of wealth among franchises and enact a true salary cap and true revenue sharing.

Fuck Manfred.
