No news yet on the Red Sox and any free agent.
However if someone wants to “shut out” the Yankees from his services today...
Meanwhile Rob Manfred is testing the waters for the “Golden at-bat” or making pinch hitting better for TV and gambling and worse for the game.
The premise is that “the golden at-bat idea is to allow a team one opportunity to call upon a hitter who is in the lineup but not due for the upcoming at-bat. It’d be somewhat akin to pinch hitting with a player who is already in the game.” Do you want a pale imitation of Trout vs Ohtani in the WBC every night? If so this is for you!
