How Major League Baseball undermined the regular season and the winningest teams, including the Orioles | GUEST COMMENTARY

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:05:57 GMT

The trait that separates major league baseball from every other game on earth is the sheer length of its regular season. At 162 games, the baseball season is twice as long as basketball and hockey, and 10 times that of NFL football.For half the year, baseball teams play almost every day. For fans, the ritual of watching games, reading box scores, and following quotidian ups and downs of a team makes baseball an essential part of daily life in a way no other sport can.Ironically, just at the moment that baseball has rightly adopted rule changes, like the pitch clock to bring the sport back to its faster-playing roots, Major League Baseball managed the unthinkable: It made the sacred regular season far less important. How? By preventing teams with the best records from playing any games for a week straight at the start of the playoffs, the most unnatural prison sentence possible for a baseball team.Thus, the three teams (Braves, Dodgers, Orioles) who this year won 100 or more regular ...

That means clubs will have an exclusive window to re-sign their own players.All option decisions must be finalized within that five-day window as well, so Breslow’s first order of business will be figuring out a plan for the five Red Sox players who are either pending free agents or likely to become one.Will they stay? Will they go? Do the Red Sox have any candidates for a qualifying offer? Here’s ...
