Fixed.
I do think a lot of these should be attributed to Manfred to some degree. I mean, sure, someone else like Epstein might be spearheading these changes, but I don't think we'd see so many going though if Manfred was not on board with them. And I certainly don't remember nearly as many happening with Selig. We've definitely turned a corner from changes are bad, to changes are at least welcome.

Ahh, I see. It was listed under the
2020 changes in Wikipedia, but I understand now it was more a note to the 26 and 28 man rosters, than a rule change itself. I'll correct that and add links to the OP.

Yeah, I didn't really understand it. I'll read it a couple more times and try to fix it.
