With the recent talk of Major League Baseball considering an expansion to 32 teams, it brought me around to thinking about what baseball might look like.
Presumably, they would have to reorganize divisions, lest they end up with that decades-long injustice of having one division with an extra team for no reason. So, expansion would naturally facilitate a move from three divisions of five to four divisions of four, similar to the NFL. The league could also revert to two divisions of eight, but meh. That's less interesting.
What this would present is an opportunity for baseball to right some regional wrongs, placing rivalries into the same division and potentially spurring on a newfound sense of geographically convenient loyalty.
