MLB Offseason Thread: Damnit Phillies, you had one job

**synistar** · 2023-03-23 14:19

I'm guessing by the quarter pole of the season there will be rule alterations from the Players Association & MLB once feedback comes in from closers/relievers in high leverage situations.

MLB already made a few clarifications this week.

https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/...ules-memo-says

• In situations where pitchers find themselves away from the mound -- whether to cover first base or back up throws to home or third base in foul territory -- the 30-second between-batters clock will be delayed. It restarts when the pitcher making a play at first is back on the infield grass and one backing plays up is in fair territory.

• Leniency for catchers who end an inning on base or at-bat. Umpires could turn off the 2-minute, 30-second between-innings clock at the 30-second mark if the catcher has made a "reasonable effort" to abide by the timer. If it reaches that point, a catcher will be allowed to receive one warmup pitch from the pitcher and make a throw down to second base to ensure he, too, has warmed up his arm.

Just a reminder that Ken Griffey Jr. has the third highest payroll charge for the Reds this season at 3.6 million.

**Krandor** · 2023-03-27 11:16

I saw somewhere that that was a typo, he's only 4th highest on their payroll

Edit:

Ken Griffey Jr ($3.6M)
Wil Myers ($6M)
Mike Moustakas ($22M)
Joey Votto ($25M)

I think he got bumped cause Moustakas got released, and that wasn't accounted for.

Extreme case of mad for being too slow for the low-five

**Melena** · 2023-03-27 14:53

Clearly an Angel Hernandez protégé.
