Part 3/7:
Since taking over in 2015, Rob Manfred has embraced a more liberal governance model, allowing for dissent among owners. He no longer insists on unanimous decisions, permitting a 23 to 7 vote to instigate changes within the league. Such a shift has resulted in a more chaotic atmosphere where conflicts between owners can manifest, as seen in recent statements by Dick Monfort, the owner of the Colorado Rockies.
Monfort publicly advocated for the implementation of a salary cap and floor, a proposition that marks a significant shift in the traditional financial structure of MLB. This kind of open discourse was virtually unheard of under Selig, who wielded his influence to discourage public disagreements among owners.
