Pitch clocks -- though they would bother me as a baseball purist -- make sense. But eliminating defensive shifts is just plain brainless. You're going to take strategy out of the game to produce more runs?

"The second set of changes that I would look at is related, and that relates to injecting additional offense in the game," Manfred told ESPN. "For example, things like eliminating shifts. I would be open to those sorts of ideas."

The 2015 Baseball Hall of Fame class is on its way to Cooperstown. But first, a field trip to the Ed Sullivan Theater.
The $3.7-million contract includes a $50,000 bonus if the injured closer makes 60 appearances in 2015.
