As we continue down the long road of the baseball off-season, a few things become apparent. One is that people tend to enjoy the coverage/speculation about off-season moves as much as they do whatever happens on the field. Another is that we see too much of Scott Boras. Yet another is that we have to deal with Rob Manfred, or whoever wears the mantle of the commissioner of baseball.
As it stands right now, the “Commissioner” of baseball is the figurehead who speaks for the game. Yet, the reality is that the commissioner is but a focal point/spokesman (so far, all men) for the owners.
