Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic has some info on possible rule changes ($) that are being discussed between MLB and the union. One is the expansion of the DH to the National League, which is just too evil a proposal to contemplate. The other is a three-batter requirement for relievers. The latter obviously would help move games along, which is good. It would also reduce the Pirates’ handicap from being managed by Clint “What’s a Platoon Advantage?” Hurdle. Personally, I’d rather see baseball shift away from frantic pitching changes simply as a matter of more sensible strategy.
