pointlessly convoluted reallignment

[Cubswin11]

I'm 90% fine with where MLB is right now. Overhauling the playoffs or adding teams/changing divisions is not very high on my list. Most important things I'd like to see changed are.....

 

1. NL DH

2. Worst 2 records play in WC/play in game regardless if teams win a division or not

3. Expand rosters to 26 or 27

4. Move the trade deadline back to the 2nd week or so of August

 

Nothing else really matters to me

screw it, let's get crazy and go to soccer-style 2 game playoffs between the wild card teams and 2 worst division winners. Home and home series with best run differential advancing, away runs is first tiebreaker. If even after 2 games, Extra innings start with everyone available, can redo your lineup completely, winner determined by normal baseball extra innings rules.

 

disclaimer: I know this will never happen, just fun to think of how stupid it could get.

how about we go to the pre-world series era where the best record in the major leagues is the champion

All hail your 2008 World Champion Cubs, who edged out the Tampa Bay Rays by half a game

This. Or Raleigh would be even better (for selfish reasons). But honestly baseball is huge in NC and all these idiots pull for the Braves because they are/were the closest team. it would strive in either NC location.
