The Angels are still reeling from losing out on Gerrit Cole to the New York Yankees, but that doesn’t mean baseball cannot go on as usual.
As a part of fan safety, Manfred has decreed that all stadiums extend their netting past the dugout for 2020.
For the Angels, this will mean coverage of netting from sections 109-127 up from 110-126. It will not, however cover the diamond boxes in these sections as they are behind the seats.

This push to extend netting more has come at a backlash from some in the baseball community while others say it hasn’t gone far enough.
