The expansion of the Major League Baseball playoffs next year may not be as inevitable as commissioner Bud Selig alluded last week. Despite Selig's comments that baseball was moving "inexorably" toward adding two wild-card teams to the postseason field in 2012, union chief Michael Weiner says that the two sides have so far to go in negotiating expansion that "it's just too early" to predict anything. "We've had healthy discussions at the bargaining table about a lot of different schedule formats," Weiner said. "Included in those discussions were several formats which expand the playoffs in one form or another. But neither side has made any proposals. So it's just too early in the bargaining process to predict or guess where it's going to land." Weiner made it clear that the players are open to the possibility of adding more playoff teams.
