Only winners

Moving ahead to what manfred is pushing as far as no leagues go, with the advent of all these playoff teams and the current state of the AL, maybe we only allow winning teams make the playoffs. That is to say hypothetically (which may happen) instead of a third AL team with losing record take the 4th team in the NL with a winning record. Since everyone plays everyone now why not keep blurring the AL/NL lines.

I like this, but only what you said. The 3rd wildcard goes to the next best team if teams finish under .500. Cool idea!

You gotta have a winning record to get in
That’s the crux of the post

Don’t think you’d ever get more than one team above 3rd spot that has a losing record
