Rob Manfred's approach to management in MLB reveals a prioritization of financial gain over the fan experience, particularly evident in recent decisions surrounding Opening Day. By allowing Japan to celebrate Opening Day a week earlier than the U.S., and implementing scheduling changes that disrupt cherished traditions like doubleheaders, the MLB appears more focused on profits than on supporters. This shift is reminiscent of earlier commissionerships, portraying a consistent trend of neglecting fan engagement in favor of revenue generation.
Rob Manfred's leadership reflects a disinterest in fan enjoyment as he prioritizes monetary gains over tradition, leading to decisions that alienate dedicated supporters of baseball.
Opening Day's scheduling, designed more for profits than the fan experience, is emblematic of MLB's shift from a beloved pastime to a business-driven model under Manfred.
