Report: Single trade deadline among MLB rule changes. MORE:
The biggest change in 2019 will be the move to a single trade deadline, which will be on July 31. Previously, teams were able to acquire players that pass through waivers beyond that date and have them playoff eligible, as long as they were on the roster before the first day of September.
For the 2020 season, the league and association will introduce a three-batter minimum for pitchers, which will eliminate single matchup moves. Currently, a pitcher is forced to face only one hitter when they enter the game. Another change will see regular season rosters expand from 25 to 26 players, with the September maximum of 40 reduced to 28.
