What If MLB Had a Tournament? Let's Dream Up the Ultimate Format! 

What if Major League Baseball decided to shake things up and implement a tournament format? With March Madness fresh in our minds, it's an intriguing thought experiment. Imagine a double elimination tournament where teams face off in five-game sets, with no off-days in between. The twist? When a team is eliminated, the teams that defeated them get to pick a player from the eliminated roster.

This could lead to some wild roster dynamics and unexpected team compositions as the tournament progresses. Would this format enhance the excitement of the postseason, or would it dilute the significance of the regular season?

Let's dive into the possibilities! How would you structure an MLB tournament? Would you keep the current playoff format, or do you think a radical change is necessary? What are the potential benefits and drawbacks of such a system?

And here's a bold prediction: if MLB were to adopt a tournament format, we might see a surge in fan engagement and viewership, similar to what we see during the NCAA tournament. But would traditionalists embrace this change, or would it be met with resistance?
