    Good move by baseball. Labor peace is by far the most important issue for the sport. Rob Manfred understands that.

    I suspect a lot of fans don't give a hoot about who the commissioner is -- of baseball or any other sport. Often, these guys are nothing but punching bags for the average fan. (This attitude applies to the head of FIFA and the head of the IOC, too.) Fans will complain about whomever the commissioner is and knee-jerk knock every move they make.

    Best of luck to Mr. Manfred. Keep idiots and troublemakers like Jerry Reinsdorf at bay.

    MLB is moving the 2021 All-Star Game out of Atlanta, the league announced.
    "Major League Baseball fundamentally supports voting rights for all Americans and opposes restrictions to the ballot box," Commissioner Rob Manfred said.
