Introduction

This video presents Jomboy's comprehensive plan for MLB realignment, including team expansion, division restructuring, and a revised season and playoff format. The goal is to create a more engaging and fan-friendly structure for Major League Baseball.

Key Takeaways

1. Team Expansion: The plan adds two teams – one in Nashville and one in Salt Lake City (though other cities could be substituted).
2. Realignment: The 32 teams are realigned into four divisions of eight teams each in both the American and National Leagues, aiming for geographical balance (though some flexibility is acknowledged).
3. Season Structure: A 156-game season with three-game series is proposed. This structure prioritizes divisional matchups (four times each opponent), interleague games (twice each opponent), and a series against every team in one opposing division. This creates a more balanced and predictable schedule.
4. Playoff Structure: The playoffs feature a 50% league participation rate. This involves a unique format where the first-half division winner and the second-half division winner automatically qualify for the postseason. Additional teams qualify based on overall regular season record. The first round features one-game wildcard matchups, followed by a two-game wildcard series. The Divisional Series is a best-of-seven format.
