New rule changes coming to MLB, slated to commence this year and the rest to be finalized by the 2020 Major League seasonSome of the changes:- 28 player roster for September for all teams (starting in 2020)- July 31 trade deadline (no more trades after this date will be permitted)- the introduction of the 15-day DL rather than the current 10-day DL- two minute maximum commercial breaks- five mound visits allowed this year; four in 2020...and much more.For details:https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2019/03/14/mlb-new-rule-changes-roster-3-batter-minimum/3157226002/Lots of @mlb rule changes for 2019 and 2020: pic.twitter.com/Bn89KReec0— Bryan Hoch (@BryanHoch) March 14, 2019

The elimination of the 40-man callup roster seems pretty drastic. I still think the 3-batter/inning ending requirement for a pitcher is stupid. Are they forcing pinch hitters to stay in the game after hitting, nope. So why do it to pitchers.

FUN FACT: Vlad Jr.'s home run was the 1,120th @MLB homer this May. That set a new all-time record for the most homers in a single month! pic.twitter.com/qW6Gbt7gUR— Toronto Blue Jays (@BlueJays) June 1, 2019

Apparently the Rays are going to explore splitting their home games between Tampa and Montreal in a scenario that doesn't seem all that well thought out:https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/27016429/sources-rays-explore-playing-montrealProbably just another threat aimed at a city that doesn't want to cave on public financing for a stadium but, still, could be an interesting development if they decide to move for good.
