Most professional baseball seasons are built around domestic league competition, leaving relatively few opportunities for clubs from different countries to face one another. Would more international club tournaments make baseball more interesting, or would additional travel and games make already demanding seasons too difficult for players?

International club tournaments would make baseball more exciting, especially if fans could watch MLB teams face top clubs from Japan, South Korea, and Latin America. I wouldn’t add games during the regular season, though. A short tournament in the offseason would give fans those matchups without exhausting players or risking injuries during a long campaign.
