Pirates Kang out for year; Does MLB need to revisit takeout slide?

Torn MCL, fractured tibia.
As the rule stands currently? Legal play, not overly dirty, not intentional.
How do you prevent that though? Change the proximity to base for those slides? Require the slide to be sooner and/or lower or face suspension and fine?
Leave it as is?

That angle from behind isn't straight on and probably makes it looks worse than it really is...and baseball purist guy will probably say I'm an idiot...but, I hate that play right there. I think the guy's legs should have to be more on a line with the base path. I can see if you're rounding the bases how you have to come from that angle, but not a slide. The entire purpose of that play is to plow the guy, which is asking for injuries like this.

If the fielder is in the baseline like Kang was then its fair game IMO

Yeah, that's a bullshite slide.

that slide should be illegal. he isnt even attempting to slide into the bag, if Kang wasnt there his leg ends up about 2 or 3 feet right of second base.
this is seriously an archaic rule thats days are numbered
the only reason it is still legal is baseball "purists"

That baserunner should be forced to take that slidetackle from Pacmam and then he should have to slam Pacman's head into a football helmet. Let the dirty players have with with each other, last person standing wins.

It was a clean slide, he was reaching for the base. That's a terrible angle by the way. I said it live and even the Pirates announcers agreed it was clean

If they disallow the hard slides, they should disallow infielders throwing sidearms/low on purpose to nail base runners who don't get out of the way.
I think they should do neither though.
