They really need to make the season shorter. Even the old 154-game season is too long unless the schedule is filled with doubleheaders (I think teams used to routinely play 12+ doubleheaders per season up until the late 1950s).

There are simply too many dates on the baseball calendar and too many teams in the postseason. This pushes the start of the season into March and the end of the World Series to late October.

I also think almost every major sport has the same problem, for what it's worth.

I would almost consider splitting the League into two tiers, with Promotion/Relegation, like Soccer.

The worst teams get demoted to the second-tier, and the best teams in the second-tier get promoted to the Top League.
