• Is MLB expansion the cure to baseball’s lack of offense?

Brad Penner-Imagn Images Baseball is an ever changing landscape of late, but would expansion solve one of its biggest issues? Baseball had an offensive explosion in 1994, in retrospect, a chemically-aided jolt to the game. Lost among the plethora of dingers whizzing out of ballparks was the run at a .400 batting average by Padres batting champ Tony Gwynn. Far from a steroid-inflated Adonis...2024
