Commissioner Election Vote Scheduled For Next Week; Manfred Expected To Be Re-El
ected

Major League Baseball’s owners will vote next week to determine whether to keep
 Rob Manfred as commissioner, report Evan Drellich and Ken Rosenthal of the Athl
etic. There’s little intrigue expected with the outcome, as one person told The
 Athletic it’s “a foregone conclusion” Manfred will be re-elected.

That’s no surprise. The last time Manfred’s job was up for debate — over the
2018-19 offseason — he was unanimously approved for a five-year extension. Manf
red will only need to secure a simple majority for an extension, with 16 of the
30 ownership representatives approving. He’ll almost certainly get that and cou
ld have a chance at another unanimous vote.

The terms of a new extension aren’t clear. Manfred’s current deal runs through
 2024. If he’s re-upped for another five years, that’d take him through the ’
29 campaign.

Within the past few seasons, MLB and the Players Association were at odds both r
egarding the return-to-play measures during the 2020 pandemic peak and saw the f
irst official work stoppage in more than two decades with the 2021-22 lockout. M
LB revenues reportedly bounced back above pre-pandemic levels once the CBA was h
ammered out last spring, however. Manfred told Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles T
imes towards the end of last season that league revenues were approaching a reco
rd $11 billion for 2022. Manfred first took over as commissioner in November 201
4.

大聯盟老闆預計下週會進行投票，決定是否要和現任主席曼佛地魔續約

雙方合約於2024年結束後到期

只要超過一半(16位)同意，曼佛地魔即可續任

而根據一位知情人士告知The Athletic的訊息

曼佛地魔續留已是預料中的必然結局


MLB歷年營收

2013  71.0億美金
-------------------------------- Rob Manfred當選主席(擊敗Tom Werner)
2014  76.8億美金
2015  83.9億美金
2016  90.3億美金
2017  94.6億美金
2018  99.0億美金
-------------------------------- Rob Manfred成功連任主席(續五年約)
2019  100.3億美金
2020  36.6億美金
2021  95.6億美金
2022  100.8億美金

目前他年薪$17.5M，新約搞不好能加薪破$20M

據報導他前任的MLB主席Bud Selig

最後一年(2013)的薪資至少$22M，甚至超過$30M

Rob Manfred第一次選主席時共計經過六輪投票才當選

One baseball executive who attended the meeting, speaking on condition of anonym
ity to the Associated Press because details of the 4 1/2-hour session were not t
o be divulged, said Manfred was elected on approximately the sixth ballot. The i
nitial vote was 20-10 for Manfred, three short of the required three-quarters ma
jority.

第一輪投票僅得20票(當選要23票)

His total increased to 21 on the second ballot and 22 on the third. While teams
put written ballots into envelopes, keeping their choices secret, from team offi
cial speeches it was evident that the Tampa Bay Rays' Stuart Sternberg and Milwa
ukee Brewers' Mark Attanasio likely switched their votes, the source said.

第二輪21票
第三輪22票

光芒老闆Stuart Sternberg、酒鬼老闆Mark Attanasio在這兩輪改投曼佛地魔

Manfred's total dropped to 20, then increased to 22 before a dinner break. He go
t the needed 23rd vote on the next ballot, apparently from the Washington Nation
als. Owners then made the final vote unanimous. The source said that it appeared
 the Arizona Diamondbacks, Red Sox, Chicago White Sox, Cincinnati Reds, Los Ange
les Angels, Oakland Athletics and Toronto Blue Jays had been the final holdouts.

第四輪 20
第五輪 22
第六輪 23(國民隊老闆投下關鍵一票)

最終反對曼佛地魔的七隊老闆為

響尾蛇
紅襪
白襪
紅人
天使
綠帽
藍鳥

但最終已達當選23票門檻

所以最後是當成全票通過了

White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf and Toronto president Paul Beeston spoke out str
ongly against Manfred, the source told the AP. Angels owner Arte Moreno joined R
einsdorf in leading Werner's support. Other teams have said Reinsdorf wanted a c
ommissioner who would take a harsher stance in labor negotiations.

白襪老闆Jerry Reinsdorf和藍鳥總裁Paul Beeston當時極力反對曼佛地魔

支持紅襪主席Tom Werner擔任MLB主席

之後天使老闆Arte Moreno也加入它們陣營
