Sadly, I have to agree with your assessment of Manfred's "leadership" thus far. Between this asinine proposal and his being "open" to banning defensive shifts, I'm rapidly losing confidence in him.
He initially said all the right things, but so far the only thing he really seems committed to is expanding MLB into Mexico someday. Mexico? Really? With all of its socioeconomic problems, which includes far higher crime rates than we ever experienced, including during the crack epidemic of the 1980's, drug cartels that literally control more of the Mexican countryside than their federal government does, and crushing poverty on a scale that is simply unknown in the U.S. What next, maybe placing a team in Mogadishu by 2030?
This guy is rapidly making me long for the unimaginative, stiff-as-a-board, used-car-salesman approach of Dud Selig.
