There's really no arguing that the MLB is thriving right now. Revenues are at an all-time high. There are more ways to watch games than ever. TV contracts are still crazy money. The ballparks are better than ever. The sheer number of game makes MLB by far the highest total attendance of any sport/league. 

Whether or not the MLB is better than ever is more subjective. The pitchers, hitters, and fielders are all more skilled than ever, and the players are more athletic than ever. Trust me, as a Phillies fan I don't enjoy watcher my team go hitless for 5-6 innings once a week. But overall, I still love the game. I probably watch 1-2 MLB games per week and attend 5-10 per year.

The future is another story. Baseball has some real challenges, but it still has a great foundation.
