(NEW YORK) -- Fans could see changes coming to Major League Baseball. Sources tell ESPN that the league and players union are mulling a "wide-ranging" proposal, that centers on whether to implement a pitch clock. The MLB is proposing several changes, but has included a willingness to hold off on the pitch clock until at least 2022.

ESPN reports the MLB Players Association received the proposal Tuesday. It reportedly also included a three-batter minimum rule for pitchers and a roster-size change that, if approved, could be implemented in 2020.
