Add enough mediocre games and the audience will sleep through them and then forget to turn them on. Advertisers will notice. Right now d'd few advertisers bother to show more than two or tree different ads through the bowl series. It could be worse.

I’d rather 2 8 team divisions. The winners get a bye, and 2 wildcards from each in a 3 game series. Then the divisional round in 5, and the Championship Series in 7.

I’d rather CFB explode into dust than this

Without a spending cap it’s just more cannon fodder for the 4-8 teams able and willing to spend to compete.

This is how they will justify cutting more minor league rungs. By saying "but look at all these new jobs we created."
ETA: I'm for expansion generally. But everything is a monkey's paw with Manfred. Anything good comes with a high cost that fundamentally weakens the future of the game.

They might as well drop all the teams except the Dodgers and Yankees.
They are the only teams they baseball thinks matter.
Skip the season and let them play for the title.

4 divisions of 8 would make so much more sense with the current playoff format, but this is Manfred so...

Would you realign based on geography or based or AL/NL?
AL or NL South: Braves/Marlins/Rays/Nashville or Charlotte team
Imagine a division with Mets/Yankees/Red Sox/Phillies.

Exactly. And it would make it more fair because it would be less likely you have an 87-win division champ get homefield over a wildcard team with way more wins (which happens a lot now).

As long as they allow bench-clearing brawls again

Yep, I’m pretty much done with MLB and pro sports in general. I’ll get my baseball fix from the Gateway Grizzlies.
