Major League Baseball announced today that Commissioner Robert D. Manfred, Jr. has ruled on New York Mets pitcher Jenrry Mejia’s application for reinstatement from his permanent suspension under Major League Baseball’s Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program (announced on February 12, 2016). Mejia will be allowed to resume participation in non-public workouts at Mets’ facilities following the 2018 All-Star break and will be eligible for a rehabilitation assignment with a Mets’ affiliate in mid-August. Provided that Mejia complies with certain conditions established by the Office of the Commissioner and agreed to by Mejia and the Players Association, Mejia will be reinstated from the Restricted List and will be eligible to resume all baseball activities beginning with 2019 Spring Training.
Commissioner Manfred issued the following statement regarding Mejia’s conditional reinstatement:
“During our meeting, Mr. Mejia expressed regret for poor choices he made in the past and assured me that, if reinstated, he would adhere to the terms of the Program going forward. In light of Mr. Mejia’s contrition, his commitment to comply with the Program in the future, and the fact that he will have already spent almost four consecutive years suspended without pay, I have decided to grant Mr. Mejia a final chance to resume his professional career.”
So what about Rose and Joe, Manfred said lifetime ban means forever just a year or 2 ago. This is laughable, owners should have his head for this weak and bullshite.

Ped to get better.
Gambling by mgr is doorway to influencing outcome.
Pete should be in hall. Can't manage.

a "lifetime ban" in MLB isn't one. Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program reads, in fact: "a player who receives a lifetime ban may apply for reinstatement after two years."

They should only let him collect league min while still active, with the remainder of his earnings held in trust until his playing days are done. If he gets caught, he forfeits all of the trust. If he stays clean, he gets it all in a lump sum upon retirement.

It is a crime that this man isn't in the HOF.

If Pete gambled as a manager, he probably gambled as a player. I know he says he never gambled against his team, but he also said he never gambled too. A liar is a liar.

Idgaf, Pete and Joe as players both deserve to be there.

So Joe Jackson's biggest crime in Manfred's opinion seems to be that he died 7 years before Manfred was born.
If only he had lived to be 120, Manfred could have interviewed Shoeless Joe to determine if he was appropriately contrite.

Joe Jackson was on a team that threw the World Series. He definitely knew that his teammates agreed to throw it. Pete Rose was a big contributor in multiple World Series and effort on the field has never been questioned.

Why not unban Zombie Steve Howe again just for the lulz?

I'd like to see you in the 19 teens's come out and snitch on your own team mates and a bunch of mobsters. Joe had no errors in that world series, lead both teams in hits, his own team in runs, RBIs, and batting average, slugging percentage, and OPS as well as hitting the White Sox only Home Run. He was also notoriously uneducated.

They're gonna wait until Rose is dead so as to not give him the satisfaction. Lame but it is what it is.

All facts. My comment still stands.

What do you think Arnold Rothstein would have done to Shoeless Joe if he threatened to disrupt a fix that made every criminal organization associated with Rothstein a ton of money? This guy bankrolled Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky and Dutch Schultz.

and yet still no Pete Rose.

They will one Pete dies. MLB doesn't want to give him the satisfaction .
