Major League Baseball isn’t just implementing new changes for the 2019 season at the senior circuit, they are also tinkering with the Arizona Fall League.
The three big changes include a new leadership structure, a revamped schedule that starts the season earlier, and the removal of restrictions for players whom MLB organizations could nominate to play in the AFL.
MLB has elected Bill Bavasi to oversee all operations of the AFL. He is responsible for implementing all rules and regulations of the league and communicating those rules with teams.
Bavasi previously served as the director of the MLB Scouting Bureau and as well as the general manager of the California/Anaheim Angels from 1994-99 and Seattle Mariners from 2003-08, among other positions.
