This afternoon, Player Representatives voted against the 2024 rule changes proposed by the Commissioner’s Office. As they made clear in the Competition Committee, Players strongly feel that, following last season’s profound changes to the fundamental rules of the game, immediate additional changes are unnecessary and offer no meaningful benefits to fans, Players, or the competition on the field. This season should be used to gather additional data and fully examine the health, safety, and injury impacts of reduced recovery time; that is where our focus will be.


DECLARACIÓN DEL DIRECTOR EJECUTIVO TONY CLARK ANTE VOTACIÓN DE LOS PELOTEROS SOBRE CAMBIOS EN LAS REGLAS DE 2024


"Esta tarde, los Representantes de Jugadores votaron en contra de los cambios de reglas de 2024 propuestos por la Oficina del Comisionado. Como dejaron claro en el Comité de Competencia, los peloteros creen firmemente que, tras los profundos cambios de la temporada pasada a las reglas fundamentales del juego, los cambios adicionales inmediatos son innecesarios y no ofrecen beneficios significativos a los aficionados, los jugadores o la competencia en el terreno de juego. Esta temporada debe usarse para recopilar datos adicionales y examinar por completo los impactos en la salud, la seguridad y las lesiones de la reducción del tiempo de recuperación; es ahí donde estará nuestro enfoque".
