The league is already thin enough. There are very few teams with a 5th starter who is any good.
One of the Florida teams should be moved...the devily rays
And they need to move The Marlins to a new stadium or move them too.
Reports say that there were around 400 people in the middle of a Washington @ Florida game last week.

No expansion is needed. It will water down competition even further. Until there are enough players so every team can get 5-10 studs plus 2 ace pitchers because the Yankees and Red Sox have no more room on their rosters there is no need. Relocation I can listen to. Cities I think of.... Move Tampa Bay Rays or Florida Marlins to Orlando or Jacksonville. I would not move any other team. Other cities I would like to see baseball....Memphis, New Orleans, Oklahoma City, Las Vegas

How about contracting 2 teams to create 14 teams in both leagues? Pitching is already diluted as it is.
Tampa Bay and Washington are good candidates.

DO NOT EXPAND! There are waaaaay too many teams out there as it is. which means that there's too many shitty players out there as well. If I ruled the MLB here's what I'd do...
I would get rid of Tampa Bay cuz no one goes to see them, they have bad revenue, they suck at running the team & it's Florida, they only pay atention to college sports & bingo.
Get rid of the Marlins, yes they won 2 titles but they never even sold out a game during those season so I say gah bye.
Any team that has only 400 people show up to their game must go sorry.
Get rid of Milwaukee, they too suck at managing their team. They suck'd in both leagues & the only reason they excist is cuz Selig used to own them.
Get rid of the Pirates they are a horrible system that like Tampa, is only there to provide young talent for the Yankees, Red Sox, Mets, Dodgers & Angels.
Kansas City is just the same as Pittsburgh & Tampa in my eyes. They havent been relevent in over 15 years. They are the weakest link...good bye
Last team I'd get rid of is Toronto for one reason .... **** Canada, thye dont wanna fight with us, they got their own rules in football so why in hell should we let them have a team...good bye
now it's time to realign the divisions...
Red Sox, Yankees, Orioles, Indians, White Sox & Tigers would represent the AL East
Twins, Angels, A's, Rangers, Mariners & Rockies would be the AL West. I moved the Rockies to the AL to balance out the leagues & lets face it they're a true AL team, no pitching & all bats.
Braves, Mets, Phillies, Nationals (only there cuz they new & they left Canada), Cubs & Reds will make up the NL East
Cardinals, Astros, Dodgers, Padres, Giants & D-Backs make up the NL West
division leaders make the playoffs & the next two best teams in each league make it as well.
oh the world would be a better place if i ran it...cuz this Jedi brings balance to the force.

No. Pitching is so diluted with the teams we have right now. There isn't enough even decent pitching to go around right now. They should contract two teams, if anything.
