A potential extension to the current schedule could provide a key player with up to 19 additional games before the postseason begins, offering extra preparation time for a high-stakes competition. The adjustment, if approved, would shift the traditional timeline and could impact both team strategies and fan expectations. With playoff performance often hinging on peak form, the added games may prove critical for players aiming to dominate in the later stages of the season. The move would also extend the regular season, altering the usual rhythm of the league’s calendar.
That would give Judge as many as 19 games to get ready for the playoffs.
