Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred announced that the Chicago Cubs will host the 2027 All Star game at Wrigley Field. He suggested that should MLB expand to 32 teams, a radical geographical alignment could be pursued to reduce travel strain on players. This change would necessitate disbanding the traditional National and American Leagues established over 140 years ago. Critics propose alternatives such as reducing the season to 154 games and eliminating interleague play to manage player travel more effectively without compromising historical structures.
