reading this thread got me thinking about mlb realingment. Here's my plan if MLB decided to scrap this whole AL-NL thing and realigned the league based on geography, assuming there are no "historical" rivalries or whatever. It's like MLB completely started ALL OVER again or start anew. NORTHEAST Toronto Blue Jays Boston Red Sox New York Mets New York Yankees Philadelphia Phillies EAST Detroit Tigers Cleveland Indians Pittsburgh Pirates Baltimore Orioles Washington Nationals CENTRAL Chicago Cubs Chicago White Sox Cincinnati Reds Milwaukee Brewers St. Louis Cardinals SOUTHEAST Atlanta Braves Houston Astros Miami Marlins Tampa Bay Rays Texas Rangers WEST Arizona Diamondbacks Colorado Rockies Kansas City Royals Minnesota Twins Seattle Mariners PACIFIC Los Angeles Angels Los Angeles Dodgers Oakland Athletics San Diego Padres San Francisco Giants I know the West Division doesn't make sense, but imo, it makes more sense to keep the five California teams in one division.
