Baseball should adopt an 8-team wildcard 'March Madness' playoff format
My feeling is we have to make the game more competitive... we're going to create a baseball March Madness so that you have the bottom three teams. So you have five, six, and seven. Seven... will play six, one game. Then the winner of that will play team five... Then you get into the divisional playoffs. So you're going to have three days of sudden death Major League Baseball playoffs.
In 2022, MLB expanded the playoffs to 12 teams (6 per league), including a 3-game Wild Card series, moving closer to the 'more teams' model Boras advocated for, though his specific gauntlet format wasn't used.
