Aside from the currently irrelevant but historically awesome Cubs/Cards and uninspiring Yanks/Red Sox: the MLB really lacks meaningful rivalries. It's time for realignment.
My suggestion:
Guardians from the AL Central to NL Central. Cleveland/Cincinnati is a natural regional rivalry.
Pirates from the NL Central to NL East. Pittsburgh/Philly is also rivalry that makes sense.
Marlins from NL East to AL East. Still, no one will care, but Miami/Tampa.
Finally, completing the circle, the Jays from the AL East to the AL Central where god intended, to selfishly reestablish the Jays/Tigers rivalry that consumed young Jer circa '86, '87, '88.
That is all.
It's coming but I don't think until they expand. I would not be surprised if they got to 32 teams and the same divisional set up as NFL.
I think I posted about this before. Let me see if I can find it.
I would love this.
I can't seem to find the post. Maybe I never shared it on SN but I had the Jays moving to a newly created AL North division. I believe with the Tigers, Guardians and Pirates. Other North division would have both Chicago teams, the twins and the Brewers.
I’m here for it!
Of course this would assume they add 2 teams. One in the west and one in the east and the Rays stay put, which is questionable if they aren't getting their stadium.
Nashville. Who else do you think gets a team? SLC?
I think those are the front runners.
They can’t expand and I think you posted it actually until the fucking A’s and Ray’s get situated. Frankly MLB should force both owners to sell because they are a detriment to the league
If the Astros don’t go back to the NL Central then it’s a non starter it is stupid we play on the west coast
They only moved us cause our owner sold and MLB pounced making it a condition
Astros would play in a South division under an NFL style realignment.
