What the NL and AL Merger Produced

What the merger of the National and American Leagues has produced for baseball governance

The Merger

The National and American League merger into a single Major League Baseball governance structure -- the specific administrative consolidation that eliminated the separate NL and AL offices and centralised the umpire governance, the schedule, and the operational functions under the MLB Commissioner office -- is the accountability journalism of the governance change that has changed how the sport is administered.

The Outcomes

The outcomes: the universal DH implementation that the single league structure enabled; the specific schedule changes that the balanced schedule between conferences has produced; and the specific umpire evaluation changes that the centralised umpire management has implemented. Each represents the specific outcome of the governance consolidation.

On Deck Coverage

The On Deck News covers the NL and AL merger because the accountability journalism of baseball governance requires examining the specific structural changes that have been made to how the sport is run, and because the specific policy changes the merger enabled are the accountability outcomes of the governance decision.
