The thought process here is that baseball players may want to avoid nine innings of play twice in one day during this pandemic-delayed season.
A source confirmed to ESPN that Major League Baseball is checking opinions among owners and general managers, and league staff hope for a decision by Saturday to make a change or leave the rules the way the are.
Sportsbooks would need to amend their current rules for the 2020 season should the changes take place.
Phillies general Matt Klentak said seven-inning games are possible for Saturday's twin bill against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Not all players are on board with the idea.
"I like nine and nine, personally,'' Yankees reliever Adam Ottavino said Wednesday. "I don't want to be marginalized out of the game, once we go seven-inning games, slippery slope there.''
The union's survey was first reported by The Athletic.
"Right now, I don't think it's necessary based on how this season has been set up,'' Los Angeles Angels manager Joe Maddon said. "If the doubleheaders were to pile up for whatever reason, I would have it like in a contingency plan."
