MLB Commissioner Candidates Presenting To Owners Ahead Of Vote

Potential MLB Commissioner candidates Tim BrosnanRob Manfred and Tom Werner this afternoon will each present their vision for the future of the sport before league owners in advance of the planned vote tomorrow, with each of their presentations followed by Q&A sessions. Another Q&A briefing will occur as part of tomorrow's vote session.

MLB Commissioner Bud Selig yesterday in Baltimore refused to speculate whether the vote on his successor will deliver a definitive choice and avoid an impasse among the owners. But Selig said he was not concerned about potential chaos within the voting, or the impact a temporary impasse might have on the sport. He said, "We’ve had a thorough (search) process. Clubs are empowered to vote the way they want to vote, and we’ll see what happens. But the notion of suffering any damage? I reject that completely."
