Baseball fans, how do you feel about these proposed rule changes?
Here’s the link to the article link
The specific rule-change proposals include:
The adoption of the designated hitter in the National League, making the DH universal across both leagues.
A rule requiring pitchers to face a minimum of three batters, except in the case of injury or when finishing an inning.
A 20-second pitch clock, a timesaving device Manfred has espoused for more than a year now.
A single trade deadline before the all-star break, to replace the traditional July 31 deadline and the Aug. 31 waiver-trade deadline.
The expansion of rosters from 25 to 26 players, with a maximum of 12 pitchers.
A reduction in mound visits from six to five.
A rule, which would be tested in spring training and the All-Star Game, in which each half-inning in extra innings would begin with a runner on second base.
Tweaks to the draft order to reward winning teams and penalize perennial losing teams.
A rule that would permit two-sport athletes, such as Kyler Murray, to sign major league contracts as enticement to play baseball.
The only one I have a problem with is the extra innings / runner at second base idea. Others are OK with me.
