New York Yankees President Randy Levine is reportedly in consideration to become President Donald Trump's chief of staff and is a "wild card" for the post, according to MSNBC (h/t Adam Zagoria of the New York Times).

Levine has served as the team's president since 2000. Prior to joining the Yankees, he was both the principal associate deputy attorney general and principal deputy associate attorney general for the U.S. Department of Justice in the Ronald Reagan administration. He later served as an attorney with a private practice, as the chief labor negotiator for Major League Baseball and the Deputy Mayor for Economic Development, Planning and Administration in New York City under Rudy Giuliani.

Other names under consideration, according to MSNBC, included Republican congressman Mark Meadows, Mark Mulvaney (both the director of the Office of Management and Budget and the acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in Trump's cabinet), president and chairman of Citizens United David Bossie, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker.

Trump announced Saturday that current Chief of Staff, John Kelly, would be leaving the post at the end of 2018.

"I appreciate his service very much," Trump said, per Kaitlan Collins and Sophie Tatum of CNN.com.

According to that report, "Kelly's status had become endangered in recent months as his relationship with the President deteriorated. He was not on speaking terms with Trump during his last days, two officials told CNN, and their relationship was no longer seen as tenable."
