New League Rules
I started a new MLB season, starting in 2010. As always, I took on the role of a small market GM (Pittsburgh Pirates). After the 2011 season wrapped up, the league decided to expand. I had two thoughts about it.
1) That's definitely more interesting than in previous versions. But, also...
2) I really wished that I had known this was going to happen. (perhaps being given an opportunity to vote on this: I definitely wouldn't have chose Memphis and Columbus.)
Two years later, they extended the season by 4 games. Somewhere along the line, interleague play disappeared, and this just happened prior to starting the 2019 season, eliminating minor league option years.
So to phrase point number two into a question: Is there a way to see these rule changes coming in advance, and affect them, without playing in commisioner mode.
