A wide range of rule changes will take effect in baseball this season, with more to come in 2020. But this is just the beginning for a sport in transition. (via bnicholsonsmith)
Without realizing it at the time, this past summer we witnessed the final August trades in Major League Baseball.
Those were just a few of the many changes announced by MLB and the MLBPA Thursday in a major agreement between two sides that have publicly been at odds since last off-season. Adding to the significance of the announcement, it happened in the middle of a collective agreement, three years earlier than necessary.•Starting Sept 1 all teams will roster 28 players
Not only will the rule changes announced Thursday increase pace of play, they’ll open up strategic challenges for decision makers across baseball and set the stage for even bigger changes in future seasons.
