Portland OR team will be called the Rosebuds.

Heres it goes the Rockies will join the American League, two Expansion teams will happen in Raleigh/Durham NC in American League and Portland OR in National League and the Marlins will relocate to Orlando because they approved a New Billion Dollar Ballpark that's means Miami will be like Montreal Good Baseball Team Bad Baseball City and Now NO Team.

Check in five Years.

Answer 3

A more likely realignment would keep the two leagues fairly intact. Adding 2 expansion teams would make 32 teams and perfect for 2 leagues with 4 divisions with 4 teams each. This would make scheduling easier. For playoffs the format could be copied directly from the NFL.

Las Vegas is a more likely addition than Oregan, but I like Charlotte as an expansion team. Indianapolis, Oklahoma City, and Mexico City are also likely expansion cities.

American League:
West - Angels, Mariners, Las Vegas, & A's
East - Blue Jays, Yankees, Red Sox, Orioles
Central - Twins, White Sox, Tigers, Indians
South - Rangers, Charlotte, D'Rays, Royals

National League:
West - Dodgers, Giants, Padres, Rockies
East - Mets, Nationals, Pirates, Phillies
Central - Cubs, Cardinals, Brewers, Reds
South - Astros, Braves, Marlins, D'Backs

That's my best guess.

Answer 4

Do the East and West play each other during the year?

If they DO, then the World Series becomes really stupid, sort of like (no offense) the NBA Finals. It's better if the two teams haven't played that much.

If they DON'T, then the West Division needs another team (either added or subtracted) so that all the teams can play on a single day,

I must add, the East Atlantic Div. is stacked. How many teams would be in a playoff system? If what are perennially 3 of the top 5 total teams are all in one division, that makes for a lousy playoffs.


Overall, not bad, pretty creative too. But it won't be adopted- too much resistance.

Answer 5

i have a few problems with it

1. charlotte doesnt need a baseball team, that area is predominatly braves fans and it would stay that way

2. you CANNOT put the Mets and Braves in 2 different divisions. thats a historic rivalry

3. that Northwest division is really weak, especially with an expansion team. the twins would dominate it

4. the same with the Southeast division. the braves would dominate that with no competition

5. you forgot the Baltimore Orioles, and with 2 expansion teams and 6 divisions, 32 teams doesnt divide evenly

6. that Central division is stacked with good teams. teams would be shorted from there every year

everyday someone posts these and there are always problems with them, because they dont work lol

Answer 6

Dude, we have two teams in Florida that get about as many in attendance as a little league game in Nebraska. The D.C. move was an utter nightmare. The only reason anybody goes to a game in S.F. is because they think their cheatin' hero Barry might juice one. The last thing MLB needs is more expansion!! Yes there are cities like Portland, Memphis and Des Moines that would support a team more than D.C., Miami or Tampa so move those teams there.

Answer 7

Not bad, but there are two items that jump out at me:

1) The teams in the Northwest would face a lot of travel. Seattle fits, but Milwaukee and Minnesota are a lot more "mid"-west than northwest. I don't have a solution for that one.

2) Toronto and Pittsburgh should be switched. Toronto is more central than east, and the Ohio teams are closer for travel than the east coast teams.

An expansion team in Oregon? That would be nice, but I can't imagine it at this point.

Answer 8

So do you think that the powers to be in baseball have been or will be smoking the same wacky weed you've been smoking? Adding expansion team to cites that can't support them? Breaking up rivalries that fan 's look forward too! I would list more reasons but I honestly wouldn't know where to start. I hope you are not planning to operate a car when you are in this condition

Answer 9

There should be no more expansion.

The ONLY thing that should happen is for Houston to move to the AL West. That way each division has five teams and it helps bring a bit of parity between both leagues.

Answer 10

The AL West has 4 teams, the NL Central has 6, and all others have 5. It makes sense, at the least, to move one team to the AL West (from the NL) so all have 5 teams.

Answer 11

Wow that East Atlantic would be a GREAT division...Im a Met fan and i would love to see that, But take out the Blue Jays and put the Pirates.
