During ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball game between the Seattle Mariners and New York Mets, MLB Commissioner paid a visit to the broadcast booth and spoke about the future of the sport. Among the topics Manfred discussed were MLB expansion and realignment.
"I think if we expand, it provides us with an opportunity to geographically realign" Manfred said. "I think we could save a lot of wear and tear on our players in terms of travel, and I think our postseason format would be even more appealing for entities for like ESPN."
When Major League Baseball expands to 32 teams, it will give the Commissioner's Office an opportunity to realign the divisions.
