Baseball fans--MLB expansion could bring huge changes.

[Kingofalldems]

The NL would be teams west of the Mississippi except for the Twins.
The AL would be east coast teams.
The DH would be the standard.

The Cubs and White Sox would be in the National League.

1. Expand to where?

There really aren't too many cities to expand to right now, maybe Charlotte, North Carolina and Buffalo, New York. And the Cubs and Sox cannot be in the same league.

4. Montreal and Austin. It's in the link.

2. That would certainly be a radical realignment.

It's all speculation at this point but four divisions with four teams each for both leagues seems very likely to happen.

I definitely do not think Montreal will be one of the expansion cities, though. Austin, Charlotte, Las Vegas, Nashville, Portland or San Antonio seem much more likely to me.

6. The problem with Vegas is that sports gambling is legal there

Pro leagues don't want to be associated with gambling.

Besides, do we really need another ballpark with a swimming pool?

3. Two more teams is going to dilute the talent pool even further while ...

favoring teams with huge media contracts even more.

If they really want to improve ratings install a salary cap and real revenue sharing.

The DH is a lame and uninventive idea -- perfect for morons. It sucks the life out of baseball. Better they should expand rosters by one or two players who can pinch hit as the situation warrants.

5. "...perfect for morons..."

7. Works for me.

Colorado Rockies, Oakland Athletics, San Francisco Giants, Seattle Mariners

The Giants win that division in their sleep.

8. Are you smoking the same SHIT that Elway Supremo does???

Because that makes no fucking sense.

I finally thought Natinal fans were finally making sense, and this??

9. It's a fucking article.

10. See what happens when you legalize marijuana. n/t
