Shohei Ohtani playing Banana Ball? Yes, please! What say you, TheSavBananas? WillLaws pitches the American Baseball Cup
There would be logistical issues to figure out. Baseball’s regular season already features 162 games. Even if the major league teams are given byes through the first couple of rounds and would only be required to navigate a six-game path to the finals, it could be difficult to find room in the schedule to fit those extra contests.
To that, I say: Shorten the regular season to 154 games. Or maybe just chop off a week or so of spring training and start the season earlier; cutting far more than that this spring didn’t seem to affect pitchers’ ability to build up their arms too much. Perhaps a reduced measure of both would do the trick. Then, once a month or so, have a collective off day for league play and use it for American Baseball Cup play, with another off day either before or after the cup game to ease travel concerns.
Side note: I initially thought a midseason tournament during an extended All-Star break could be an option, with the first few rounds between the lower-level teams taking place during the early part of the break and the latter rounds bringing in the MLB teams following the All-Star Game.
Some may argue an American Baseball Cup wouldn’t be necessary. One reason why these domestic cup tournaments are compelling in European soccer is because those leagues don’t have playoffs at the end of the season; whoever wins the de facto regular season is crowned champion. The single-elimination tournaments provide some competitive variety and give teams other competitions in which to succeed, even if they’ve long been out of the running in the league.
