Mr. Freix, I believe has the rough essence correct. But I'd go another step.

MLB is demonstrating the institutional versions of the human traits of stubborness and denial.

The tool they have selected to achieve a goal has too many flaws. Consequently the path to the goal is rougher than need be and the likely outcome will be similarly flawed. However, MLB has become so single-minded in its determination to show everyone who's in charge that they either do not care how they do it, or refuse to believe that they can be mistaken.

This happens in business often. However, smart businesses realize the goal is more important than the tool and adjust accordingly.

MLB does not appear very smart.
