Max Scherzer Advocates for Umpire Relegation System in MLB

Texas Rangers pitcher Max Scherzer proposes sending the bottom 10% of MLB umpires to the minor leagues to improve officiating standards.

Max Scherzer, currently rehabbing with the Texas Rangers, suggests a relegation system for underperforming MLB umpires.
Scherzer's proposal comes amid widespread criticism of MLB officiating, including notorious mistakes by umpire Angel Hernandez.
The pitcher advocates for using electronic systems to rank umpires, aiming to maintain the human element in baseball.
Scherzer emphasizes the need for accountability in umpiring, similar to how players are demoted for poor performance.
The idea has reignited discussions about the potential use of robotic umpires in the league.
