I think this is a hazardous idea but not for the obvious reasons. With a regular season that long, some marketing Einstein is bound to follow the NBA’s lead and turn June into some kind of pointless MLB Cup tournament.

More directly to your question, though, I think a longer regular season would mainly appeal to baseball purists, but especially toward the end of the season would be a huge drag on attendance and viewership for the teams with no chance to get to the Series. And there would be lots more of those.
