MLB Proposes Major Changes to Season Structure and Postseason Format

Major League Baseball has proposed significant structural changes, including shortening the regular season from 162 to 154 games starting in 2029 and expanding the Division Series to a best-of-seven format. Owners also suggested adding nine postseason days off and allowing higher-seeded teams to pick opponents in the first two rounds from next year. These proposals, made during collective bargaining, could reshape the sport's future.
