John Manuel Scout for the Minnesota Twins

from WPTF Afternoon News

The reaction to Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred lifting the suspension of Pete Rose and Joe Jackson continues to come in. Rose and Jackson were banned from baseball for decades. Rose, who died last year, is now eligible for induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame after being banned from the sport since 1988. Jackson was banned, along with seven of his teammates, after conspiring to throw the 1919 World Series. John Manuel is currently a scout with the Minnesota Twins after working as a writer for Baseball America, based in Durham. Manuel joined Jeff Hamlin to discuss Manfred’s decision.
