\n WASHINGTON \u2014 Major League Baseball might get an expanded postseason after all.<\/p>\n

An industry source confirmed that MLB and the MLB Players Association were talking Wednesday about increasing the playoffs from 10 teams \u2014 under the format that has existed since 2012 \u2014 to 16 for this coming season.<\/p>\n

MLB Network\u2019s Jon Heyman first reported the development.<\/p>\n

The agreement ideally would get formalized before the Yankees and Nationals begin the 2020 season Thursday night at Nationals Park (weather permitting), though precedent exists for enacting changes after the starter\u2019s pistol has fired. The NBA expanded its first-round playoff series<\/a> from best-of-5 to best-of-7 at the All-Star break of its 2002-03 season.<\/p>\n

The players and owners discussed the concept at length in May and June as they tried to find common financial ground to hold a season without fans in attendance. While the format naturally lowers the bar to qualify for the October tournament, it just as naturally increases the revenues from the television networks during a season in which the clubs\u2019 revenue streams are getting hammered.<\/p>\n

When the union declined to collectively bargain an agreement for this coronavirus-shortened campaign, instead compelling Rob Manfred to unilaterally impose the terms of the season, the plans for expanded playoffs fell by the wayside. Those plans, however, are rising, which would represent good news<\/a> for mediocre teams hoping to earn a ticket to the big dance.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
