I assume you mean 8 teams each league. That would open the door for some team thatis not very good to possibly world champions. Some team also may not play as hard knowing that so many teams make the playoffs.
That would not fair to the top teams that worked hard and played hard all year.

No, if they expnad it to 8 teams from each league, no your talking about half of all teams playing in the playoffs. Those extra 8 teams don't deserve to be in the postseason. If you're not good enough to finish in the top 4 in your league, you don't deserve to go. They'd also have to redo the divisions, and I love the way they are set up now.

It's already 8 teams; 4 from the American League and 4 from the National League.

No. Baseball has the astounding playoff format because it helps the very astounding communities to win, as adversarial to a seventh or eighth seed that fairly finished .500. As for the Blue Jays, no they could't outspend the Yankees or the pink Sox, yet neither can the Twins, Rangers, Angels, Rays, and so on. different communities win the international sequence and performance made the playoffs with out spending various funds. The Blue Jays can not win because they have gamers that hit residing house runs, yet do no longer something else.

It is 8 teams. 3 from American League plus one wild card team, and 3 from National League plus one wild card team. If they expanded it past 8, I don't know how they would decide what teams get to go. It would be ridiculous and will never happen.

Well, the MLB playoffs already has 8 teams. Each league has division champions from each of its three divisions plus the "wild card", which goes to the non-division winner with the best overall record.

Did this question fall through a wormhole from before 1994?
Eight teams is enough. No one wants to play into November. One improvement would be to let MLB dictate the schedule and not the television broadcaster. Another improvement would be to dump Fox as the broadcaster.
I'd settle for having McCarver tossed out of the booth (through the window) in the top of the first inning, every game.

No,no way.Sub .500 teams do not deserve to be in the playoffs.It is fine the way it is.I find it ridiculous that basketball and hockey have teams that don't even have a winning record in the playoffs.

It's all ready stupid, please. Who wants to watch a world series between two teams that were never even in first place the whole season? Baseball is trying their best to kill themselves as a sport. Games are on so late at night kids can't watch. How are they going to get young kids into watching if they can't stay up that late? That's their future fan ''base'' they are neglecting. The astronomical prices to see a game at the stadium? Forget it! Then the final blow, putting the games on limited access cable stations and pay per view. I wonder who's going to pay to view something that very few people are interested in?
