"It's unclear what a presidential pardon might include. Trump did not specifically mention a tax case in which Rose pleaded guilty in 1990 to two counts of filing false tax returns."
"I met with President Trump two weeks ago ... and one of the topics was Pete Rose, but I'm not going beyond that."
Commissioner Rob Manfred has indicated he is contemplating a petition to remove Pete Rose's permanent ban from Major League Baseball. This decision comes after a recent meeting with President Donald Trump, who expressed support for a pardon. Rose, who passed away in September, remains a controversial figure in baseball history due to his previous gambling on games. Despite his accomplishments, such as being the all-time hits leader, his past actions led to a lifetime ban agreed upon with MLB. Details about potential presidential pardon remain unclear.
