Houston Astros: Rob Manfred Is Just A Symptom Of MLB’s Selig Sickness The last true commissioner was Fay Vincent. Vincent tried to partner with both sides and worked to be fair. He stood tall with a Ruxinesque scream of “COLLUSION!!!!” when the owners illegally tried to hold down salaries. He brokered a labor deal between the two sides, and always kept the integrity of the game in his sights. Naturally he was fired. Rob Manfred is really just keeping with league policy now that he’s in the big chair. Fight the union, maximize the owners profits and take the fans for granted. If Manfred stepped down today the owners would find their next rubber stamp to fill the role. Baseball is dieing because the ownership wants it that way. https://houseofhouston.com/2020/06/25/ro/
