New MLB commi sioner Rob Manfred is making it clear that he intends to reevaluatehow the game of baseball is played.

His review is on display with the Jeremiah Kolone Jerseys league's recent experimentationwith . Once those are installed in the majorleague,Manfred's next order of busine s will be finding ways to Greg Gaines Jerseys infuse more offense into the game. That could include eliminating defensive shifts, .

McGUIRE: .

"I think the second set of changes that Iwould look at is related (to the pitch clock),and that relates to injecting additional offense into the game," Manfred said."For example, Travin Howard Jerseys eliminatingshifts. I would be open to those sorts of ideas."

Of course, those changes would not be likely to come without pushback. Defensive shifts have been as much a part of baseball as the cutoff man for years, especially of late. Teams Matthew Stafford Hoodies Sweatshirts have spent a lot of money employingsabermetricians to analyze, among other things, the precise defensive positioning needed to best combat an opposing batter.

Manfred said those people would just have to adjust accordingly.

"Look, we have really smart people working in the game," he said."And they're Buddy Howell Jerseys going to figure out ways to get a competitive advantage. I thinkit's incumbent upon us in the Landen Akers Jerseys commi sioner's office to look at the advantages that are produced and say, Is this what we want to happen in the game?"
