I agree with getting rid of the American and National League because there everyone has the DH. Would there still be three wildcard teams?
I’d put 2 teams being: 1) Montréal 2) Nashville.
swap white sox and twins and i like it
The west would have travel issues with Seattle. But at least it’s all in the same time zone so that would mitigate issues with jet lag and fatigue.
It’d be unfair to Seattle and Portland, but to keep the Dodgers and Giants together, swap the D-backs and Giants. The A’s, now (potentially) in Vegas, wouldn’t have the same necessary ties to the California teams. If they stay in Sacramento or NorCal, keep it as is
5:55 Brodie be Gerrymandering
Raleigh
Everyone plays everyone now anyways. Not sure it would be a huge difference. Now the playoff format can be changed that’s for sure.
Division games still plays very important role. It will still make a meaningful difference.
I like your west and east division. I think I’d do a “north” division with SLC, Colorado, KC, StL, ChC, ChW, Minnesota and Milwaukee. “South” Tex, Houston, Atlanta, Tampa, Miami, Cincinnati, Cleveland and Detroit. Cool video and concept.
Ok here is my take on realignment. You can do one of two ways (that make the most sense)
Go back to pre-1995 and have an East and West divisions. Keep the American and National designations (The NFL still have the AFC and NFC, so if it’s not broke don’t fix it)
AL West would be Seattle, Sacramento, Anaheim, Portland, Texas, Houston, KC, Minnesota
AL East would be Chicago White Sox, Detroit, Cleveland, Toronto, Baltimore, New York Yankees, Boston, Tampa Bay
NL West would be San Fransisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Arizona, SLC, Colorado, St Louise, Chicago Cubs
NL East Would be Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Washington, Philadelphia, New York Mets, Miami
I put Portland in the American so they can be natural rivals with Seattle and SLC in the National so they could become natural rivals with Colorado. Playoffs would be the Top two teams from each division for 8 team playoffs, no wild card. The only bad thing is we could see teams that are under 500 or have a lower record than another team making the playoffs. Other than that it’s balanced as well as could be. I hate to break up the Milwaukee and Cubs rivalries that have started to grow, I would also get rid of “inter-league” play and focus on playing more games against your Division rivals which makes for a more even playing field for the playoffs.
The other option is to do an NFL Style divisions for each league
NL West – San Fransisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, SLC
AL West – Seattle, Portland, Anaheim, Sacramento
NL North – Colorado, St Louise, Chicago Cubs, Milwaukee
AL North – Minnesota, Chicago White Sox, KC, Detroit
NL East – Pittsburgh, New York Mets, Cincinnati, Philadelphia
AL East – New York Yankees, Boston, Cleveland, Toronto
NL South – Arizona, Washington, Atlanta, Miami
AL South – Texas, Houston, Tampa Bay, Baltimore
Obviously the South Divisions are the most funky, but I think it makes the most sense, these are the two most obvious ways to realign keeping most of the geographical rivalries in tact and keeping most of the big rivlalries in tact, and making divisions more equal so we don’t have a bunch of scrub teams in one division.
I appreciate the creative thinking, but I’m not on board with scrapping the AL and NL for a 4-division model. The American and National Leagues are a huge part of MLB’s identity and history — from the DH rule origins to iconic rivalries and league-based traditions. Getting rid of them would erase too much of what makes baseball special. If Portland and Salt Lake City get expansion teams, there’s a much simpler and cleaner solution: just slide Portland into the AL West and Salt Lake into the NL West. Both cities fit geographically, and this keeps the league structure intact without overcomplicating things or losing the legacy of the two leagues. Realignment doesn’t need to be a total overhaul to work.
No owner would go along with this plan, but let’s go completely random. Why does geography matter? Think 1979-80 NHL Norris Division: Hartford, Montreal, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Los Angeles. Adams Division: Quebec, Toronto, Minnesota, Boston, Buffalo. Let’s make some chaos!!
Take your four division aligment and swap out the Texas teams for the upper Midwest teams, and it’s not bad, except for Detroit landing in what’s essentially a South Division.
I wish Detroit and Toronto could be in the same division somehow. The rivalry was big at one time and tends to create a lot incentive for both teams. Salt Lake City is a weird one. I guess you have to keep it where you have it but if the Athletics end up in LV Salt Lake and Vegas match up real well as rivals. I’m trying to work out division North and South and the divide those in half somehow. I guess a bit like the NFL. I gonna get blow back on this idea but it makes for great discussions. I actually called about this very thing so thanks for covering that.
