MLB, MLBPA Poised To Discuss Pace-Of-Play Initiatives For '18

MLB and MLBPA officials expect to meet next week in N.Y. to "discuss pace-of-play initiatives that would go into effect" for the '18 season, according to a source. The "major changes under consideration are a pitch clock and a limitation on catcher mound visits." Commissioner Rob Manfred made this issue a "priority even before the average game time increased" in '17 to 3 hours, 5 minutes. He is "free to unilaterally institute changes" under the current CBA, but he has "consistently expressed a desire to reach a settlement with the union before new rules are implemented" (ESPN.com, 1/4).
