Justin Turner Proposes Home Run Derby to End Extra-Inning Games

If MLB is able to play games in 2020, the season will look unrecognizable. There’s already talk of adding way more doubleheaders to the schedule—maybe even seven-inning doubleheaders like minor league teams do—and an expanded playoffs with games in neutral cities.

Dodgers infielder Justin Turner has an idea for one more wacky twist: end extra-inning games with a home run derby.

Turner made the proposal in an interview with Spectrum SportsNet this week.

“This is my opportunity to push for a home run derby in extra innings,” Turner said.
