Commissioner of Major League Baseball since 2015
Sports leagues have pressed regulators to permanently revoke betting privileges for anyone who threatens or harasses athletes, coaches or staff. The initiative seeks uniform rules across states to curb harassment as legal sports betting expands.
MLB has ended its consideration of Grand Teton National Park as a potential site for a game after local opposition became clear. Commissioner Rob Manfred has stated that the league will not evaluate the park further, and previous reporting highlighted the lack of community support and environmental concerns. The development follows earlier exploration of other non-traditional venues and signals a shift back to traditional ballparks.
