Joe Maddon despises Rob Manfred's changes to the game - with one glaring exception
John Hefti-Imagn ImagesSince getting fired by the Angels during the 2022 season, former Chicago Cubs skipper Joe Maddon hasn't shied away from the spotlight, regularly making his thoughts on the state of the game well-known.
This week, he sat down with former big leaguer Mark Trumbo and longtime former LA sportswriter Mike DiGiovanna at Halo Territory in an interview that covered, among many other topics, baseball's recent rule changes - including larger bases, three-batter minimums and the infamous 'ghost runner'.
Safe to say, Maddon isn't a fan.
"Three-batter minimum, get rid of it. Bigger bases, limiting throwovers, get rid of it. Runner on second base, get rid of it."
