MLB Rumors: All-Star 'Election Day' Planned; More HR Derby Prize Money Discussed

Major League Baseball is looking to make significant adjustments to freshen its All-Star festivities.

According to ESPN.com's Jeff Passan, two All-Star-related changes are part of a proposed amendment to the collective bargaining agreement that is "likely to be ratified" by the MLB and MLB Players Association.

One of them is the implementation of an All-Star Election Day. In that scenario, normal online All-Star voting would be held, and the top three vote-getters at each position would then be added to a second ballot. The All-Star starters would then be determined by who receives the most votes on a single election day.
