Latest On Potential 2020 Rules Changes.
MLBTR
MLB plans to implement 30-man rosters, up from 26, to start the season. However, the 30-man total will shrink to 28 on the 15th day of the season.
It will go down to 26 on Day 29 and stay there for good.
The trade deadline is normally July 31, but expectations are that it will move to Aug. 31 this year.
A runner starting on second base in extra innings would only apply in the regular season, not the playoffs. The batter who made the final out in the previous inning would start extras on second.
THIS RULE CHANGE IS FUCKING STUPID!!!!
MLB may decide to suspend games that don?t last at least five innings due to weather. In other words, they?ll remain in limbo until the teams are able to finish them at a later date.
Both pitchers and position players would likely have a 10-day injured list. For players who are seriously hurt, the 60-day IL would be cut to 45 days.
Three days before the resumption of spring training, teams have to submit lists of 60 players who will be eligible to play for them during the season (40-man rosters plus taxi squads).
All players would not show up to spring training at the same time. They?d report on a ?staggered? basis, and they?d be at the ballpark at different times.
