Nope.
I agree with some of the recent changes.
The pitch clock is simply getting the pace of the game to what it used to be. It's actually enforced tradition.
The runner on 2nd in extras is a simple mathematical, prudent idea. 18-inning games aren't necessary.
Limited pickoff attempts is like the pitch clock - just getting the game and pace to what it used to be. I love the additional steals and steal attempts. Catchers have to actually be able to throw again!!!!

But this? This is madness. You're the #1 sport obsessed with it's history and tradition. Honestly, I'd do the opposite and get rid of interleague play. If the Yankees and Mets want to play, win your leagues in the same year. Earn it.
This has 6 teams going from the AL to the NL and Houston going back to the NL! What!?!
So yes, all the league-switching is outrageous....unless you just have a bunch more interleague play, in which there's no longer any reason to bother with leagues, as others have said.
.
But the other thing is what in the Sam Hell are we doing with a bunch of 4-team divisions?!? Are we trying to make sub-.500 teams an annual thing in the postseason?!?! That's a mathematical certainty if you've got all these tiny divisions.
Sigh.
It's as if powerful, important people lack nuance and wisdom or something!!!
