ST. Maillot Steven Nzonzi . PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Rays manager Joe Maddon maintains technology and not shorter games is key to attracting young fans to baseball. Maddons comments followed Monday nights 1-0 win over the New York Yankees, a game that lasted 3 hours, 28 minutes -- the longest nine-inning, 1-0 game by time in major league history. "I really think that if all were worried about is length of the game regarding attracting young fans, I think thats probably not the actual specific or most important reason," Maddon said. "Its a media-driven problem, I really believe that. I think to involve youngsters technologically speaking is much more important." Nine-inning games this season are averaging 3:03, according to STATS, up from 2:33 in 1981. "I believe you need to really focus on getting the kids more involved based on what kids are digging these days, and thats technology, their devices," Maddon said. Maddon thinks Twitter and Skype would be good tools. "I think Skyping and getting kids to connect with players in an organization during the course of a school year primarily could really draw young people to an organization or a bunch of players," Maddon said. "Even one guy per week Skyped a classroom from each team, just think of the impact that would make. I think once a kid has been touched by an athlete, I dont care what sport its in, hes going to become a fan of that player and that team." Maddon thinks discussions on the matter are needed. "Somebody needs to sit down and really come up with an interactive kind of a situation in the ballpark or at home that engages youngsters, thats what Im looking at," he said. "Be more creative. Get us in touch with them, get players touching kids more technologically and youre going to get more fans." Maillot Olivier Giroud Equipe De France .

Its likely that baseballs 2014 home run champion will decline this one as well. The Baltimore Orioles extended the one-year, $15.3 million tender to Cruz at Mondays deadline to do so. The veteran slugger will have one week to either accept the offer or re-enter the free agent market. Cruz was in the same situation while then with the Texas Rangers a year ago and rejected the qualifying offer in hopes of obtaining a multi-year contract. He was greeted with a cool market, however, in part due too being handed a 50- game suspension in 2013 for being involved in the Biogenesis performance- enhancing drug scandal.
