Home-field advantage will go to the team with the best regular-season record
Wednesday night, Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association reached a verbal agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement. You can read about some of the biggest changes here.
Yet one change worth highlighting that has trickled out in the hours since is the end of the All-Star Game as the World Series home-field advantage determinant. Here are the details, according to ESPN:
The league that wins Major League Baseball's All-Star Game no longer will get home-field advantage in the World Series, which instead will go to the pennant winner with the better regular-season record.
It's worth noting that, under such an agreement, the Chicago Cubs would have had home-field advantage this past October -- not the Cleveland Indians.
