It's also going to be interesting to have fewer division games when head to head records will be the first tiebreaker for the division/wild card. Series against your division and league leaders will count a lot more.

March 10, 20224 yr I am all for the Sox playing every team every year.. IDC about playing the tigers 19 times lol
March 10, 20224 yr 29 minutes ago, Bob Sacamano said: Wow wtf. This makes sense to me with more teams making the playoffs. It's less about finding who is the best team in a division and more about finding the 12 best teams. A more spread out schedule will allow those teams to rise to the top more fairly.

March 11, 20224 yr I would think: 13 games x 4 (division teams) 3 games x 15 (vs NL teams) + 1 vs cubs (2/2 series) 6 or 7 games x 10 AL teams out of division 52+ 46+ 64= 162 I like playing a variety of teams, but there’s also an outside chance a 5-team division could have a very low win total. At this point, just get rid of divisions, and play a balanced schedule.

Way I understand it is players get those bonuses if they apply and then the remainder is chopped up amongst top 20% pre arb players, presumably also including the award winners.

No matter what happens, fans will be the biggest losers. I feel like my indifference had something to do with the lockout ending. You’re welcome.

More than likely, the Sox will end the season in KC 10/3-10/5 and they’ll mix in 3 makeup games with the Twins to make up the opening series. Dan Hayes (yes, him) is reporting the Twins series will be in Chicago 10/3-5, tentatively. So the at Royals games will have to be made up during the season.
