I'll be doing a good bit of MLB analysis here at ESPN, so it makes sense as I'm walking in the door to do a status check on the offseason as a whole. Most teams did a reasonable execution of their offseason to-do lists, but a handful of
teams stand out to me, either because of an offseason-defining move, a
particularly strong execution of their plan, or their level of resources in play
this offseason were a clear notch higher or lower than usual.

IRON ONS resources in play this offseason were a clear notch higher or lower

Blaze and lost this hot stove season, with a special shoutout to the biggest
winner ... and loser: Major League Baseball is considering some huge changes to
its postseason starting in 2022. Adding four more teams to expand the playoff
slate to 14 of its 30 clubs might be a controversial enough idea by itself, but
that's not the only part of the package of proposed tweaks to October baseball.
The team with the best record in each league would get a first-round bye, Does
that sound dramatic? Terrible? Creative or bizarre? We asked our MLB experts for
their reactions. The new playoff proposal: Love it or hate it? Sam Miller: There
are a lot of moving pieces here, therefore there's room to love and hate
different parts at the same time. I mean, "no more Game 163 tiebreakers" is
offered here as a benefit. Imagine, as a fan, being against Game 163
tiebreakers. Imagine! The "pick your opponent" part of it is a pretty low-stakes
tweak -- you could do that now in the current format -- but it iron on sports
logo feels wacky and unpopular. I don't think playoff teams actually want to
pick their opponents. They would custom
One color iron on transfers like to face the worst opponents, to be sure.
But actually picking them inevitably ends up looking like an CAD-Color act of hubris. You pick a team, fire them up, give them all the bulletin board
material they could ever hope for, and then if they actually beat you (which --
it's baseball, so of course they will), you get taunted for your arrogance?
Awful. Meanwhile, the notion that lots of fans are going to tune in for this
picking ceremony feels wildly optimistic.
