Nice! The cap will now be 5 times what the Astros payroll will be
They got rid of the All Star Game winner getting World Series home field advantage also. Thank goodness. Stupidest thing ever!
showalter wants the expanded rosters for april and not September.I was okay with that. Changing it either way is just motion dressed up as action. But the expanded rosters in September are bull . It extends games already too long by another half-hour.

Baseball can't do best record because the WS is so full of corporate sponsors MLB needs months to book hotels for those cities.
They are likely just going to rotate it year by year like they used too.
NBA Finals aren't as full of corporate sponsors as the World Series is.You do have an idea of what teams are going to be in the Ws, how come the Nba doesn't have a problem with it?

MLB makes the RSVPs for the WS after the ASG. It doesn't want to do for all those contingencies they want to have a plan. If they go best record that is tons of work and multiple possibilities.
It is the truth. Why do you think before 2003 it always rotated by year. MLB isn't going to do best record. It puts a lot of work and scenarios for the MLB travel secretary. MLB George Contanza isn't doing all that work.The hotels can't set aside a few rooms for Mlb, I have heard the hotel rooms thing before, I think its kind of a reach.

They can know games 1,2,6,7 are going to be in 4-5 spots not 10.They still don't know what city the Ws is going to be in until a few days before.

Games 3-5 are easier to book as well.
Making it Best record requires a lot more work.
Since 2003 HFA has been decided at the all star game.Aren't they doing it by best record now?
I think historically they alternated because there was no interleague play until 1997, so there really was no way of knowing for sure if a 95 win team in the AL was better than a 95 win NL team or whatever.
Since 2003 HFA has been decided at the all star game.
Which has allowed the bookers to schedule hotels for 1.,2,6,7 for the winning league teams and 3-5 for the losing league.
Record only matters within each league.
Best record overall isn't going to determine HFA for the WS.
I understand that I was talking about MLB did from 2003-2016.That went out with the new CBA.

The ASG winner determined where MLB had to get preparations for booking space for the WS.
Before 2003 HFA rotated between leagues preseason. Until from 1903-1994 the
NL had HFA in odd years and the AL had HFA in even years.
From 1995-2002 it flipped because of the strike.
