Second, I agree that the revenue sharing must be fixed. Some sort of salary FLOOR needs to be in place, and teams should be FORCED to spend their revenue sharing money on NEW talent, or lose it.

The season might be getting longer. Saw today where the executive director of the MLBPA Micheal Weiner, said the union would be open to discussion about adding more teams to the playoffs and extending the division series to seven games.

This article suggests, if you're going to expand the playoffs......shorten the regular season. And so it goes.
