Major League Baseball has a new commissioner and his name is Rob Manfred.
Manfred was voted in by the owners on Thursday. Manfred has been working full-time for MLB since 1998 when he served as Executive Vice President of Economics and League Affairs where he was the lead negotiator for MLB in the collective bargaining talks in 2002, 2006, and 2011. At the end of the 2013 season, Manfred was named as Chief Operating Officer.
