I'm certainly not for eliminating shifts, but I am happy he's "open" to ideas that could infuse more offense. This seems like a terrible place to start though. I'd try to get a more consistent strike zone and maybe even raise it a bit.

I don't think any baseball fan on the planet would stop watching baseball because they banned defensive shifts. And it would inject offense into the game. If you think about EVERYTHING from a commissioner or executive point of view, it makes more sense to me.
Football and basketball are adjusting their rules and innovating. Baseball isn't. Football and basketball are the two most popular sports in America and are only growing in popularity. I see a correlation.
