Owners Talking Expanded Playoffs



Story

I'm on the fence about this one. On the one hand, it rewards good teams that would just miss the cut as it is now. On the other hand, I think the nice thing about baseball is that we restrict the number of teams that make the post season. Basketball and Hockey are a joke with more than 50% of the teams qualifying for post season. I'm generally in favor of adding two more teams, but after that I think we have to stop it. If we expand to 6 teams per league, we end up with 12/32 teams in the playoffs, and that's fine. If we end up with 16/32 by going to 8 teams per league, I think it will detract from the playoffs.

Do you think this will take away from winning the division? Do you think that teams will play with less intensity if they can fall back on additional wild card spots? Or do you think this is going to make for much more exciting races down the stretch each year?
