There will be several changes to rules in Major League Baseball coming this season, including implementing a single trade deadline, an election day for the All-Star Game and a $1 million bonus for the winner of the Home Run Derby, reports ESPN.com.
MLB and the Players Union are set to announces those changes as well as using a three-batter minimum for pitchers and new roster expansion set for the 2020 season, according to the report.
While all the changes are meant for helping the future of the game, it will be the provision that the league and the union can start on the important issue of starting negotiations of a new labor deal that could be deemed the most important.
