What do you guys think of this for a realign of MLB?

Question

Splitting the teams by north and south

League 1

East: Mets, Nationals, Orioles, Phillies, Red Sox, Yankees

Central: Blue Jays, Indians, Pirates, Reds, Tiger

West: Brewers, Cubs, Mariners, Twins, White Sox

League 2

East: Braves, Cardinals, Marlins, Rays, Royals

Central: Astros, Diamondbacks, Rangers, Rockies

West: Angels, Athletics, Dodgers, Giants, Padres

Answer 1

It's time for realignment but there are  three problems with your configuration:

1. the divisions are still unbalanced.  bothers me that some have as many as 6 teams others as few as 4

2. having the same-city/region teams (Mets-Yanks, Cubs, Chisox, Dodgers-Angels, Giants-A's) in same division eliminates potential for WS between "natural" rivals.

3. divisions cross time zones making it difficult for TV broadcasters to endorse.

Answer 2

You lose me with KC in the East and the Mariners in with a bunch of midwestern teams.That's no improvement over the existing arrangement.

Answer 3

Too much like they screwed up Hockey, Fine just the way it is.

Answer 4

No I like it American and National much better just cause that is what we have gone by for so long and there has been so many rivalries made within divisions that they shouldnt change it

Answer 5

I'll give you an "A" for effort, but it'll never fly. They won't toy with something that has worked.

Answer 6

I think it's completely unneccesary, goes against 100 years of tradition, and destroys rivalries that have been around for years.  

Besides that, it has too many geographical inconsistincies anyway.  How did the Royals and Cards end up in a division with 2 Florida teams?  How did the Mariners end up playing every single road game in their division 2 time zones away?

Just leave well enough alone.

Answer 7

Do NOT like.

Back to the drawing board.
