Here’s the deal Rob Manfred needs to make: Give the players their economic asks in exchange for pace of play rule changes. Tom Verducci explains
What Manfred could not do for seven years—get the players on board with fundamentally changing the game—can happen now. That will be a huge win. In 2023 you will not see defensive shifts take away hits. You will not see pitchers taking more than half a minute to throw a pitch; it will be 14 seconds with nobody on base and 19 seconds with runners. You will see bigger bases, which might encourage more stolen bases.
Manfred has two key moves to make to create this exit ramp. First, he tells the players agreement on the rule changes and the 14-team proposal must be part of the agreement. It must be part of the economics-for-game-quality trade. It also makes so much more sense than Max Scherzer’s silly “ghost win” idea. The “ghost win” is used in the KBO because they have a completely balanced schedule.
