Edit - just realized that version is full of word salad. The gist of it is that MLB wants to create an area behind second base, extending outward in both directions, in which fielders are not allowed to stand. The idea is that it will bring back the "up the middle" single by forcing the defense to leave that area open. The comments section on the article is interesting too, as I was surprised to see that a large majority of commenters seemed to be in favor of the idea.
