Yes, but nothing in Rose's ban prevents him from applying for reinstatement. Reinstatement which is covered under rule 15(D) in particular. Which states:
"In all cases the Commissioner or the Commissioner's designee may determine, at any time, either on his or her own motion or at the request of a Major or Minor League, Major or Minor League Club or player, that the best interests of Baseball require that a player, Club or League official or employee, or other person, be placed on the Ineligible List and may also, in his or her sole discretion and upon such terms and conditions as he or she may deem proper, reinstate any such person from the Ineligible List or transfer the person from the Ineligible List to the Disqualified List."
If Rose can make a sincere argument for reinstatement I'd be willing to give him a second chance to be around the game on a conditional basis.
