On Tuesday night, Ken Rosenthal reported major rule changes are being considered by baseball officials and the MLBPA for the 2019 season, including a three-batters-faced minimum for relief pitchers and the long debated universal DH. The days of the LOOGY and silver slugging pitchers—like Madison Bumgarner, Carlos Zambrano, and even German Marquez—appear to be numbered.
What does this mean for the Rockies? As far as making relief pitchers face a minimum of three batters, well, not much.
