Ken Rosenthal advocates for reseeding MLB postseason after Wild Card round

Ken Rosenthal discussed the need for MLB to reseed its postseason bracket after the Wild Card round during a recent appearance on Foul Territory. He highlighted the significant disparity among division winners this year, arguing that reseeding would create more equitable matchups and enhance viewer interest. Rosenthal noted that the current bracket structure could place the top American League teams against lesser opponents early in the playoffs. This change could help avoid scenarios where powerhouse teams face off before the later rounds, thus maximizing viewership. He emphasized the importance of maintaining competitive balance in the postseason format.
