But no, Manfred will not say this president is wrong, because Manfred is both very loyal to and quite afraid of Donald Trump.

This would become much more obvious to everyone if baseball writers to whom MLB will actually comment would simply point out Trump's claim of a Rose "deal" and talk about it a bit. It'd force Manfred to say something. They won't, though. No one wants to imperil their access.

A deal made when Trump was the presumptive republican nominee?

I dunno. That's what he said. If it's nonsense Manfred should be able to easily refute it.

Do you think the presumedly 'backbone' of the privileged, racist, misogynist *keepers of violent manhood* sports reporters would dare question their rapey manhood idol about this? They've gathered the patriarchy wagons and will beat down anyone who dares to criticize them.

Say what you want about the other commissioners, but Manfred is the only one who actually hates the sport he leads.
