Looks like A-Rod will stay stuck on 696 HR. Asked today if he is retired, A-Rod replied, “Yes I am.” Any itch to return? “Zero.” #yankees

Rob Manfred: There will not be substantive rules changes in 2017 due to "lack of cooperation from the MLBPA."

 

[Ronin]

Jeff Passan‏ @JeffPassan
Rob Manfred is coming out strong here on rules changes. Says next year, as MLB has more leeway on affecting change, the league is going to.

Jeff Passan‏ @JeffPassan
Among the rules changes MLB could impose, per Manfred: a pitch clock, a smaller strike zone, fewer visits to the mound, auto-intentional BB.

BP ends 40 minutes before 1st pitch in some parks. As @Joelsherman1 wrote, having home team hit 2nd might have enticed fans to come early.5:14 PM · Feb 21, 2017

Ken Rosenthal‏ @Ken_Rosenthal
Sources: Talks to flip-flop batting practice so home team hits 2nd have stalled. Union asked that BP end 1 hr before 1st pitch. MLB said no.

Rangers' Josh Hamilton could be headed for another knee surgery

Hamilton's chances of making the Rangers are worsening
Texas Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton hasn’t played in the majors since 2015. Last season, he appeared in just one minor-league game before bowing out due to knee woes.

Unfortunately for Hamilton, it appears he won’t even make it that far this season. That’s because Hamilton, who hasn’t been able to put weight on his left knee, could be heading for another operation according to Gerry Fraley of the Dallas Morning News:

David Price has six years, $187M remaining on his current deal. Regardless of second opinion, this makes him unlikely to opt out after 2018.

The #Nationals are trying to trade Derek Norris, but he's also a candidate to be released. @JonHeyman -

One AL exec said today losing David Price would be almost like losing 2 starters because he's averaged 233 IP the last 3 yrs. Irreplaceable.

Breaking: No surgery for #RedSox LHP David Price. Rest and medication. Farrell calls it best case scenario. 7-10 days off for him.
