A shorter regular season was touched on very briefly early on, but if DeWitt is talking about it, it is more than a random idea.

Talked to #Cardinals chairman Bill DeWitt Jr. about some of the ideas kicking around to expand the playoffs. He countered with something he'd like to see, and has stumped for with other owners: A shorter regular-season schedule. https://t.co/8vgEHqaN1e #stlcards #MLB

How does a shorter regular season impact media deals?

Good question, BHC. I would guess it depends on how the various contracts were written.
