Originally Published 1 year ago — by The Guardian
The article discusses the controversial proposal of a 'golden at-bat' rule in Major League Baseball, which would allow a team to send any player to bat at any time, once per game. While some see it as a publicity stunt, the idea has sparked debate about the direction of MLB under Commissioner Rob Manfred. The article argues that MLB should focus on more pressing issues, such as relocating teams like the Oakland A's and Tampa Bay Rays, addressing media rights, and solving the problem of pitcher injuries and rising strikeouts.
