Longtime Reds broadcaster Marty Brennaman questioned Major League Baseball’s timing in reinstating Pete Rose, doing so only months after Rose had died.

Pete Rose was celebrated by the Cincinnati Reds a day after baseball’s career hits leader was posthumously removed from Major League Baseball’s permanent ineligibility list.

Shortly after the news broke, Reds Principal Owner and Managing Partner Bob Castellini released a statement expressing how "thankful" the organization was for MLB commissioner Rob Manfred's decision to reinstate Rose.
