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.

BBWAA removes ex-MLB commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis' name from MVP awards.

The HOF and BBWAA also needs to, then, remove any reference to any club owners, executives, (Johnson, Frick, and Yawkey, eg,) managers, and players from 1882-1960 who actively refused to consider adding, accepting, or advocating the inclusion of African-American players to MLB rosters, or, as is being said of Landis, who “notably failed to integrate the game during [his] tenure.”

Finish the task, because the list is long.

BS. If they had this vote last year or ten years ago he'd still be on. I'm starting to hate this BLM movement more and more. Fuck 'em.

The current Red Sox Owner John Henry did have Yawkey's name removed from a street right next to Fenway Park that was called Yawkey Way.

At least 400 years of slavery and countless hangings for just looking at a white women, and teen shot in the grandmother's back yard while holding a cell phone.

Mitch your post is disappointing to me and probably any posters of color here at DSF.
