chosen.content: As of now, there is still no word on whether the upcoming Major League Baseball season will be delayed or interrupted due to the Coronavirus outbreak. However, the MLB has said they are looking into changing their current post-season format in order to accommodate a smaller group of teams participating in the postseason. Right now, the postseason currently consists of the three division winners from each league and the two wild-card teams qualifying for the playoffs. Any future postseason format changes would likely consist of either reducing the amount of teams participating in the postseason, changing the format of the Divisional Series, League Championships Series and/or the World Series to make it shorter and more manageable or combining the Wild Card round with one of the Divisional Serieses.
