There's a lot of things to hate here, but this has to be at the top of the list:

The division winner with the second-best record in a league would then get the first pick of its opponent from those lower three wild cards, then the other division winner would pick, leaving the last two wild cards to play each other.

The plan is to have this all play out on a show on the Sunday night the regular season ends and have representatives picking teams on live TV — think the NCAA selection show, but just with the teams making the selections. The rights to that show is part of the enticement to potential TV partners.

1. MLB seems to start as dumb as possible and then move back

While other sports just seem to get dumber as time goes along

4. An excellent description

2. More players making money in the post season

The union will approve it.
The fans don't get a vote.

3. On they can vote

Except for Cubs Indians Game Seven it has been over 20 years since I watched a baseball game.

5. Kvetch all you want here. Or ... write letters to Manfred. Send emails. Call.

What do you think would have the most impact?
