Major League Baseball hopes to drum up interest in its annual All-Star Game by implementing a one-day online election to determine the starters, according to multiplereports.

ESPN first reported Wednesday that MLB and the MLB Players Association are planning to implement the change as part of the new collective bargaining agreement, which is still being negotiated.

Under the proposed system, the top three vote-getters for each position would be deemed finalists and put up to a second vote. Whomever receives the most votes on that single day would start the All-Star Game, according to the reports.

The All-Star "election day" is one of several changes the two sides are considering, including "increasing prize money" for the home run derby. Also being discussed is expanding active rosters by one to 26 starting in 2020 and limiting the number of active players from Sept. 1 to the end of the season from 40 to 28.

The current CBA is set to expire following the 2021 season.

Professional sports leagues have repeatedly brought new wrinkles to their All-Star Games in recent years in an attempt to increase interest. The NBA now holds a playground-style draft for its All-Star Game, in which two "captains" select the players on their teams regardless of conference, while the NFL and NHL have also tweaked the timing and structure of their events over the past decade.
