If baseball has another strike (there are concerning signs), it may kill the sport or put it below MLS if it extends or cancels an entire season.

Here’s a question.
Is the NBA more popular than MLB now? It feels like it is. I think NBA stars are bigger stars than MLB stars. Plus NBA gets more National conversation than MLB.
MLB feels very regionalized anymore unless it’s the Yankees or Red Sox.
