MLB commissioner Manfred to rule on Pete Rose ban after Trump meeting

• 17-time All-Star was given life-ban over betting scandal
• Manfred and Trump also discussed foreign players

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said he discussed Pete Rose with Donald Trump at a meeting two weeks ago and he plans to rule on a request to end the sport's permanent ban of the career hits leader, who died in September.

Speaking Monday at a meeting of the Associated Press Sports Editors, Manfred said he and Trump have discussed several issues, including Manfred's concerns over how Trump's immigration policies could impact players from Cuba, Venezuela and other foreign countries.
