Report: MLB Considering Season with Three Divisions, Expanded Playoffs, Using Home Ballparks

Just like a water softener, this latest report is going to require you to add a little salt. That said, the latest trial balloon floated by USA Today’s Bob Nightengale makes him damn near the Carl Fredricksen of this whole thing. Which is to say that he might eventually have enough of them to make it float. I guess that makes me Russell.

Squirrel!

Dammit, I’m Dug.

In any case, Nightengale cites three anonymous executives in writing that MLB officials are “cautiously optimistic” about a plan that would see the season start no later than July 2 with three 10-team divisions.
