One day before the start of the 2020 MLB regular season, the league and the players union are re-engaging on the possibility of an expanded postseason this fall, according to MLB Network's Jon Heyman.
According to MLB Network, the change would have to be done prior to first pitch on Thursday and it would entail expanding the playoff field from 10 teams to 16 teams.
Throughout the negotiations this spring that led to the eventual July 23 start date, the league had proposed expanding the postseason field to 16 teams, though the eventual deal called for a standard postseason format in both field size and series length.
