With still another three weeks to go in the baseball season, the Cubs, Phillies and Oakland A’s each have already lost more than 80 games.

Shouldn’t this tell the major leagues that it’s time to downsize by reducing the number of teams in each league? This, in turn, would get rid of a slew of mediocre players, while allowing the more talented ones to compete with their peers and improve the overall quality of the game.

If this were to happen and the Cubs franchise was taken away, Wrigley Field would be a great place for a minor-league team and would still draw big crowds.
