Major League Baseball told Houston businessman Jim Crane it would not approve his purchase of the Houston Astros unless he agreed to move the team to the American League, The Associated Press has learned.

The 16/14 model was pretty fucktarded in the first place.

Well, you could give one team from each league the day off every day, except during interleague play. That's one out of every 15 days. Teams already get that many off. It would be tricky because you would have to stagger series pretty carefully, but there are ways it could be done. That being said, Selig has confirmed there will just be an interleague game every day.

It still doesn't solve the problem that the NL Central has 6 teams whereas the AL West has only 4. That is the most offensive thing with this current structure. I am all for the two 15 team leagues but I don't like the extra wild cards.

No, that would fix it. Because that's only necessary if you go 15-15.

15-15 is fine. The extra wild cards suck. The reason the MLB playoffs are great is because of how difficult they are to reach. While the NBA and NHL are letting in teams 12 games below .500 or with 83 points, baseball has been taking only the best of the best. And now you're talking about maybe having Thanksgiving games in places like Detroit, Boston, NY, Seattle, Philly, and Pittsburgh because of a wild card play-in series. I bet they expand the 2nd round to 7 game series too. Money, money, money.

So...apparently baseball is going with a 1-game playoff between the 2 wildcard teams in each league. This is some dumb shit, but the good thing about it is re-emphasizing the importance of winning the division.

I don't even know where to start with that. Just plain strange IMO. Why even bother?

I don't think Bud Selig is a very clear thinker.
