MLB commissioner Rob Manfred wants Cleveland to "transition away from the Chief Wahoo logo," as MLB spokesman Pat Courtney said in a statement to David Waldstein of the New York Times.

"We have specific steps in an identified process and are making progress," Courtney added of the transition. "We are confident that a positive resolution will be reached that will be good for the game and the club."

The controversial Chief Wahoo logo is considered by many to be an offensive caricature of Native Americans, though it is also beloved by a segment of Cleveland fans.
