Everyone who hated MLB commissioner Rob Manfred's "golden at-bat" idea (i.e. baseball fans who read the news this week) can apparently rest easy.
Manfred poured cold water on the idea Thursday, just a few days after his comments in support of the idea started circulating, per MLB.com. Speaking at an event at the Italian American Baseball Foundation in New York, he made clear the idea is nowhere close to becoming a reality.
From MLB.com:
"For people who are concerned about that kind of change, I'd make a couple of points," Manfred said.
