Yes. They have his rights for 23 and 24. Why pay more than they have to?

According to ESPN, balls and strikes will be determined by an electronic strike zone in half of the Triple-A games next season. The other half will be played with a challenge system, in which a manager can ask for a pitch to be reviewed using the electronic zone if he doesn't like the ump's call.

So MLB is doing some experimenting, and it would be surprising if the electronic zone wasn't used at the highest level in the next couple/few years.

What happens first, electronic balls and strikes or a chip in the football to determine placement?

Just sell the team, Mark https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/1614138927257976832?t=pJfjZXmT-Fqv8xiQzBBHJA&s=19

I'm no Attanasio fan, but it's not good for the Brewers or any other team to fold on arbitration cases.  Burnes and the Brewers are $750K apart.  If every guy who was up for arby tried to milk the team for an extra $500K and the Brewers acquiesced, they'd be looking at $10+ million in unnecessary spending.

For the most part, the players understand this and likely aren't too emotionally invested.  It's just business.

Where do you put the chip in the ball?

You put one in each nose and are then able to balance it and give orientation on the field.

Just ask Bill Gates. He's an expert after having put semiconductors in all those Covid vaccines.
