JoshMartini007 2,210 Posted March 22, 2023 #586 Share Posted March 22, 2023 I would love if MLB releases players for 2028, but I doubt they would. Also they really need more than 6 teams competing. There's no reason why 12 teams can't compete (besides the arbitrary athlete quota ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phelps 6,852 Posted March 22, 2023 #588 Share Posted March 22, 2023 in any case, this tournament has been such a great advertising for the sport of Baseball. I really hope it can grow also outside the traditional Countries. about last Night's game, well, just another amazing match, with perfect ending that even the best Hollywood's director couldn't do better. now I just can't wait for the start of the regular season in both MLB and NPB (and KBO, too).
