Rob Manfred says Major League Baseball is trying, but is ultimately helpless getting teams to hire minorities for leadership positions.
USA Today Sports' Bob Nightengale and Steve Gardner share their thoughts on what makes the World Series so special.PHILADELPHIA — Major League Baseball, which has not had a single minority hired for the six managerial openings or any of at least seven GM or head of baseball operation vacancies, says it is almost helpless to reverse the trend.
“We have as recently as last year amended provisions of the Selig rule to try to make it more effective,’’ MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said, “and we continue to work hard with our pipeline programs to identify candidates that we can present to the clubs to provide them a choice in terms of diversity. We’re adding new programs all of the time in this area all of the time to make sure we have great candidates.
“All we can do is do everything we can to make sure they have qualified candidates that we’re presenting to clubs. They’re going to make their decisions at the end of the day.’’
