MLB Owners Meeting: Biogenesis, Expanded Replay On Agenda

MLB owners today begin a two-day quarterly meeting in Cooperstown, N.Y. Owners will be briefed on the recently completed Biogenesis investigation. Expanded instant replay, the subject of intense study and public interest over the past two years, will also be back on the agenda, with owners set to hear a series of committee recommendations that could expand MLB's five-year-old replay system to everything short of ball-strike calls. MLB Exec VP/Baseball Operations Joe Torre said following the last set of owner meetings in May he was "hopeful" of implementing an expanded replay system for the '14 season.

If the owners approve the recommendations, the matter would be subject to negotiation with the MLBPA and umpires' union. Estimated equipment and technology costs of such a system, however, are around $1M per ballpark.
