MLB Commissioner Manfred suggests Trade Deadline could be moved back
Since becoming Commissioner in January, Rob Manfred has demonstrated a willingness to at least consider almost anything. Now on the table, perhaps: Moving back the non-waiver Trade Deadline.
"I think that the July 31 Deadline is something that we may want to revisit in the context of the revised playoff format," Manfred said to the Associated Press on Wednesday in Newark, N.J. "Obviously when you have two additional opportunities to be in the playoffs, you have more teams in the hunt and they may want to wait a little longer before they make decisions.
"On the other hand, you've got to remember, we want teams that the core of which have been together for the year playing in the postseason. So you have to just balance those two issues, I think."
