Cardinals Infielders, Staff React To Rule Changes

As part of a joint initiative to improve player safety, Major League Baseball and the MLB Players' Association have redefined what is considered a legal slide when trying to break up a double play. The changes were met with varying reaction around the Cardinals' clubhouse, though most were in agreement that it is best to refrain from judgement until the rule changes are further clarified.
