Baseball is a business that has always been slow to make major changes.
It took about 30 years for Selig's dream of interleague play to become a reality. Ownership also took its time about realignment and expansion before a burst of activity dramatically altered the baseball landscape in the 1990s.

Alderson will be the guy pulling the strings.
