MLB commissioner Rob Manfred is considering expanding the league to 32 teams and realigning it geographically, moving away from the traditional American and National Leagues. During a recent interview, he emphasized the benefits of reduced travel for players and improved playoff scheduling for fans. Manfred envisions eight divisions of four teams each and has hinted at the potential for an “MLB Cup” in-season tournament, although he acknowledged the complexities involved. He plans to retire in January 2029, leaving his successor with a transformed league.
