MLB insider Ken Rosenthal spoke Tuesday about the idea of the Golden At-Bat rule and said he's not a fan of it at all. "My instinct is that it's not baseball," Rosenthal said on the baseball show Foul Territory. "It’s not the way the game has been played for 100-plus years and I just have a problem with it from that perspective.”

In his time as MLB commissioner, Rob Manfred has both saved baseball (the pitch clock!) and ruined baseball (Astros non-punishments, ghost runners, expanded playoffs, TV blackouts). It's been a whirlwind.

Rob Manfred revealed that there was talk around Major League Baseball about the possibility of a dramatic new rule change called the "Golden At-Bat." Reactions to the very possibility of this new wrinkle have been strong with Ken Rosenthal calling the idea "extreme" and Michael Kay telling fans they had to get their heads out of their butts.

Imagine you’re a closer getting ready to face the opponent’s No. 9 hitter with two outs in the ninth inning of a one-run game, and all of a sudden, Juan Soto steps up to the plate. Or Aaron Judge. Or Shohei Ohtani.
