The Baltimore Orioles, along with the other teams, would be hypothetically placed in new divisions that would result in a revised schedule and playoff approach.
This big change would be the result of adding two new teams according to a fascinating idea from Tracy Ringolsby with Baseball America.
The possibilities for new MLB cities
According to Ringolsby, the expansion teams that are under serious consideration are Portland, Oregon and Montreal, Canada. And, there is a group that could afford to finance a team in Oregon. There has been a constant discussion about replacing the Expos, who left Canada to become the Washington Nationals in 2005.
