MLB commissioner Rob Manfred plans to propose a signing deadline for free agents in the upcoming collective bargaining agreement discussions, believing it could enhance the league’s marketing during the offseason. He expressed concern over the slow pace of free agency this year, with several prominent players still unsigned. However, MLBPA head Tony Clark and players like Brent Rooker oppose the idea, arguing it could harm player interests and free agency competition. Manfred is also considering changes to the regular-season schedule, acknowledging the complexities involved.
