I loathe Manfred. His takeover of minor league baseball resulted in our local minor league team being demoted from AAA to Low A ball. Today’s announcement is adds insult to injury.
Next move he will make is to eliminate the DH rule in the National League. He tried to do it this year but cannot come to an agreement with the Players' Union because he tried to get them to agree to expand the playoffs. But it's coming (universal DH rule).
