On Wednesday morning, radio host Rich Eisen reported he has talked with an MLB executive who said there have been talks to radically change the ninth inning of baseball games. The change would be that if a team were trailing when entering the ninth, they could send out to the plate whomever they’d like.
Eisen backed this up later in the day, sending out a tweet with a quote from an MLB official saying “No other sport has the best players sitting on the bench in the final minutes of a game. Imagine LeBron, Brady, Renaldo watching from the sidelines”.
