Dear Fans:
On the night of January 14, 2019, I left a Miami hotel after being elected Commissioner of Baseball. As I began to reply to the overwhelming number of congratulatory messages coming in, it hit me that I’d just been entrusted to protect the integrity of our national pastime and to set a course that allows this great game to continue to flourish—now and in the years to come. Needless to say, I was deeply honored by the trust the owners placed in me.
Today is my first day as Commissioner, and I decided we need a shake-up.
