MLB Rule Changes for 2024

At least nothing mind blowing for next year. It shouldn't be as disturbing as last year.
they probably will add that there will be no more deferred payment contracts. the Dodgers are going to be making a killing off of Ohtani. and they will have more than plenty to be able to get more free agents to come.....i mean who would not want to play with a talent like him? this contract should be illegal.....but as a Dodger fan, i am glad it is not.......LOL
If they don't do some serious winning, they will be laughed out of MLB. Baseball is a long season and a lot can happen between now and the series. They stand a better than average chance being there when the dust settles. One has to keep in mind that baseball is a team sport and takes a team to win.
Why do they continue to tweak the game of baseball?
Just leave it alone for God's sake.

It use to be: Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie and Chevrolet
Now it's Whats App, Instagram, Tik Tok and iPhone

Today when kids get home from school they grab their tablet and go to the Tik Tok or the Whats App.

It was once THE game. I'm sorry but they can tweak all they want and won't regain that magic time. It's not fast paced and exciting enough to begin to compete with other games. And few if any sports compete for a youth's attention. Sad... but we can't afford to follow sports anyway bwahahaha
baseball will always be special for me....no matter what the rule changes are. there is something special when you are at Dodger Stadium. seeing a ballgame is almost like going to church for me. thanks to my dad i fell in love with the sport when he took me to my first game there.
baseball will always be baseball. you take a ball and either try to hit it or catch it. getting to home base is always the goal to score a run. you have nine innings to score more runs then the other team. everything else is just noise to me. speeding up the game/trying to get more runs scored is a good thing. whatever MLB can do to keep or gain popularity is not a bad thing.
just my 2 cents.

No arguments, baseball is a grand game. The problem I see is that it's losing or has lost the following of the younger crowd. Without new fans to replace us old purists the sport will fade into the sunset without revenue to support the high player salaries.
