Pete Rose has officially been taken off MLB's permanently ineligible list, the league announced Tuesday. Baseball's all-time hit leader has been banned since 1989 after an investigation revealed the longtime Cincinnati Reds star placed bets while playing for and managing the team. The decision would make Rose, who died at 83 last September, eligible to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. In April, Manfred said he met with Trump to discuss topics including how immigration policies could affect international players. Rose also was a point of discussion. "I met with President Trump two weeks ago ... and one of the topics was Pete Rose, but I'm not going beyond that," Manfred said at the time. "He's said what he said publicly. I'm not going beyond that in terms of what the back and forth was."
