The rules changes are basically a new pitch clock, a couple of rules for infielders but one of the most curious among the new rules is that the size of the three bases will be increased from 15 to 18 inches.

Apart from the rules, some teams already have new General Managers, including Scott Harris (Tigers) who replaces Al Avila (fired).
