Rob Manfred says expanded playoffs likely to remain past 2020, majority of owners prefer it

Stupid. But like I said in July, no way owners were going to decide to stop making more playoff money after this season ended.

Ugh.

Manfred also said the expanded, 16-team postseason is likely to remain beyond 2020, adding that “an overwhelming majority” of owners had already endorsed the concept before the pandemic.⁰“I think there’s a lot to commend it,” he said. https://t.co/7NeSIpCsjv

That is awful, makes the regular season totally meaningless. And if they keep

Yah. The Yankees went 5-15 and dropped to .500 and it hardly mattered

Same with the Dodgers cold streak, lose the division and they play the Marlins

Would be an absolutely horrible decision. Greed ruins sports.

I guess it’s good for the teams that otherwise would rarely make it.

Time to expand to 32 teams and 4 divisions per league then. I don't love the 1 game WC, but hate the 3 game 1st round.

This mid-September Padres-Dodgers series would matter a lot more if the loser had a shot at the WC game

Manfred hates baseball

That's too bad. Already ridiculous this year. The Mariners shouldn't be chasing

Gross, more than half the teams shouldn't make the playoffs
