On Friday it was announced that the Independent Atlantic League will test out some proposed MLB rule changes.
For the last couple of offseasons now there have been suggested MLB rule changes to try and help speed up the game. A lot of those rules have been shot down by the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) mainly because they are unhappy with the current state of free agency.
Rob Manfred continues to make attempts at speeding up the game, but he’s getting nowhere. Instead, he’s looking to the Independent Atlantic League to try and kick the tires on a few ideas.
