An open letter to MLB owners in support to expand, realign the divisions, and add an additional team to the play-offs.
Dear Major League Baseball Owners,
Laid out in this proposal is a well-thought out plan that continues the expansion of our well-beloved game. Contrary to popular belief, our sport is not dying. Revenue continues to increase in the sport. Franchises have been able to negotiate new media agreements, the league has pursued investments in daily fantasy to engage fans, and revenue sharing has been a success in help create parity in competition. This past World Series had the highest television ratings since 2009, featuring a small-market team in the Kansas City Royals, and the second team in our largest market, the New York Mets.
