One night after the New York Yankees were eviscerated by the Indians, Aaron Boone shared his thoughts on the introduction of a mercy rule in Major League Baseball.
Aaron Boone said that MLB should explore a mercy rule to avoid having teams send position players to the mound in games like last night.

Aaron Boone says he wouldn't be opposed to some sort of mercy rule in the regular season for blowouts like last night. Said he thinks it would help cut down on some of the unwritten rule stuff about whether or not to swing on 3-0 in a lopsided game, etc.
