Take my hand and come with me on a mystical journey into baseball's future. MLB commissioner Rob Manfred has imposed every single one of his ideas on the game—the good ones and the bad ones. He’s announced expansion into Montreal and Mexico City and codified pitch clocks for all pitchers. Every extra-inning game now starts with a runner on second base. Every time three or more triples happen in one game, each team’s bench coach must consume 10 bags of Fun Dip while reciting the Cyrillic alphabet backwards.
Oh, and there’s one more new rule: Every team in baseball must now declare every player available for trade.
