MLB 'Keeping An Eye' On New Turf At Rogers Centre 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Apr 16, 2015 7:57 pm

Major League Baseball is monitoring the new artificial turf playing surface at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, according to a report.

The new turf is very soft and ground balls have been dying in the infield rather than bouncing.

According to a source, Major League Baseball is "keeping an eye" on the way the new surface affects play.

They aren't concerned, but are monitoring the situation the same way they would monitor any ballpark change that could impact play.
