Lately, baseball games have received heavy criticism for not making some much-needed changes, such as reducing the length of the game, changes in the roster, providing easy access to live games, etc. The list is endless. If the authorities make some changes in MLB, then just like NFL and NBA, baseball also has the potential to become a global success.
However, the Yankees’ great Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez has got everything covered. He has come up with some pretty good suggestions that might actually help baseball become an even more engaging game.

Recently, while talking with Michael Kay, the Yankees legend suggested multiple changes if he becomes MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred for a day. A-Rod suggested restricting the pitching roster to only ten pitchers and providing easy access to the live games from mobile phones.
Taking to Twitter, Barstool Sports shared a picture, in which A-Rod has shared his ideas to make the game even better. “Make the strike zone more wide and less tail. Illegal defense: 2 and 2, 1 foot on dirt. Open the cameras up for all 60 cages (access from your phones, give people more content). 10 pitchers maximum on the roster, limit the amount of call ups. Entertainment like NFL halftime and NBA shows.”

Notably, all the above changes are not possible at once. But if MLB wants to grow their game, then a few changes are the need of the hour for the sake of baseball. Considering all the changes A-Rod has suggested, do you agree with him?
