Expanding the flexibility of the playoff structure is a huge item to me. Along with connecting different leagues as you describe I would like to be able to set up some different playoff structures. Here are two examples using the 2L/6D league structure (current MLB).

1 - No wild card teams but the team with the best record in each league gets a bye to the LCS.

2 - Three division winners and two wild card teams in each league. The two wild card teams have to play either a one or three game playoff to get into the LDS.

I think that this would be fairly easy. All you would need is a tree option in the league set up screen where you define the structure. You would have to have options whether you want the best record to play the worst record, if you want to use the current system where two teams from the same division can't play each other in the first round, or if you want to be able to define the match ups manually at the start of the playoff round.
