I agree that shortening the season won't fly at all with the greed in the game today. If u went with the 6-team playoff structure, including byes, the opening round would have to be a best-of-3, as too much time off in baseball isn't necessarily an advantage but actually can be a disadvantage (get out of the flow, etc). 8 teams per league would still only amount to just over 50% of teams making it to the playoffs... personally, I'd rather see more weak sisters at least have a chance to go than less. 6 teams likely still wouldn't allow for teams like KC, Oakland and Toronto to ever have a shot at making it.

I also look at your suggestions for improvement and think they need to be fine-tuned. You can't shorten spring training because lots of teams struggle to host games in April; can you imagine Cleveland in March? Shortening the season won't fly because it hits at the pocketbooks of the owners. You also don't need 8 teams to make it interesting; baseball does not need to emulate the yaaaawwwwnnn early rounds of hockey and basketball. The format should move to 6 teams per league. The top two get byes. The next two host the bottom two in 5-game series; even 3-game series if it's all the schedule would allow. With some tighter playoff scheduling this could be accomplished and would provide hope to the AL Leasters. Striking a balance between giving hope to the middling franchises while preserving the relative high-ground that is entry into the baseball playoffs is the key.

For us fans of non Yankees or Bosox teams the end of the season each year is getting pretty old and pretty predictable. I have the most interest at the beginning of the season then gradually as the big horses pull away and the playoffs become an impossibility I tend to watch less. You hit the nail on the head TSJ.
