MLB Adjusts Careers Page to Align With Federal DEI Directive

The league affirms its commitment to diversity while reviewing programs for compliance with Trump administration policies.

Major League Baseball has removed references to 'diversity' from its careers page following an executive order by President Trump targeting DEI programs.
MLB stated its diversity values remain unchanged and is evaluating its programs to ensure compliance with evolving federal legal interpretations.
Commissioner Rob Manfred emphasized the league's commitment to both diversity and adherence to federal law, noting ongoing legal developments.
The Diversity Pipeline Program, launched in 2016 to address underrepresentation in leadership roles, has come under scrutiny in the current legal and political climate.
Critics argue the changes signal a retreat from MLB's longstanding inclusion efforts, while supporters view them as necessary for legal compliance.
