You look at Field of Dreams this year. Cubs-Reds many years would be great! It might be great in two years. It wasn\u2019t great this year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MLB is taking steps where marquee matchups should be more frequent. Beginning next season, every team will have at least one series against every other team in the league per year.<\/p>\n<p>With 162 games in the regular season, baseball has tricky logistical issues to work around. First, there\u2019s the travel. Further, big concert acts such as Lady Gaga play baseball stadiums on their summer tours, which are planned up to a year in advance.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"no\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm\/?e=NYPH7754137207&amp;light=true\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, Rodriguez would like MLB to be more nimble with these hurdles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can probably set like 50-60 percent of the schedule early, but leave yourself some time to be dynamic. For example, if you go to London next year, why not go with our very best? It doesn\u2019t always have to be the Yankees or Dodgers. There are other great matchups where you can put your best foot forward all the time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving the flexibility as an organization to always lead with your best \u2014 July 4 is the easiest low-hanging fruit that the networks would want. There\u2019s no NBA. No NFL. No soccer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBack to Pujols \u2014 if you send his team to play in St. Louis the year after he signs, it\u2019s three guaranteed sellouts. But if you wait eight years \u2026 [you\u2019ve missed an easy opportunity].
