Part 4/7:
With Justin Ishbia looking to join the ownership ranks in MLB, existing owners might be hesitant based on their experiences with Matt Ishbia in the NBA. The potential for Justin to mirror some of Matt's more eccentric management styles might pose challenges for the stability and predictability that current owners prioritize.
Rob Manfred, the commissioner of MLB, will play a pivotal role in this scenario as he discusses the implications of a new Ishbia owner with the league's existing proprietors. The concern is whether to allow another owner like Steve Cohen—a figure often deemed unpredictable and financially reckless—into the fold. Cohen's history of operating at extremes has made the other owners wary, particularly as they gear up for a collective bargaining agreement negotiation.
