Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred is considering a petition to have Pete Rose posthumously removed from Major League Baseball's ineligible list, a person familiar with the situation told CBS News on Sunday. Rose, baseball's late career hits leader, was banned from MLB and the Hall of Fame for sports betting.

Trump called for Rose to be elected to the Hall of Fame and said MLB "didn’t have the courage or decency" to allow him in.

Rose, who died last year at 83, was banned from baseball for life. He admitted in 2004 that he had bet on games, though never against his own team.

The Reds will get their first look at the NL Central Division rival Chicago Cubs, who are off to a perfect start.

Cincinnati Reds left-hander Andrew Abbott, has been on a precautionary, slower progression this spring as he returns from last year's shoulder injury.

President Donald Trump announced that he will deliver a posthumous pardon to Major League Baseball’s all-time hit leader Pete Rose. This comes nearly six months after Rose died in September 2024. President Trump announced Rose’s pardon on Truth Social late Friday night. He said Rose should also be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
