Mets would have been a playoff team in 2014 under proposed changes
Imagine a world where the 79-83 New York Mets are in the postseason. If the latest MLB proposal goes through, future sub-.500 squads would get their chance.
Commissioner Rob Manfred isn’t afraid to think of new ways to improve Major League Baseball. He also doesn’t know the line where improvements end up destroying the game. Even if the latest proposal would have put the 2014 New York Mets in the postseason, it’s hard to really get on board with a system where 7 teams make the postseason.
