The recent NHL expansion draft has had me thinking: the MLB has been pretty static for awhile, we could use a couple of new teams. What if Rob Manfred decided to add another team in Las Vegas too, and perhaps Nashville while we’re at it? Both teams could pluck three players from each current franchise, giving them a seed of 90 professional baseball players from which to build a team.
Naturally, the same rules as the NHL expansion draft would apply — current teams can protect a set number of players, trades can be put in place to protect others, so on and so forth.
