With Rob Manfred's recent comments at the Little League Classic, talk of Major League Baseball expansion and realignment is taking center stage.
With an expansion to 32 teams, baseball might look to remove the American League and National League, replacing them with news divisions based on geography. Divisions would be comprised of teams in a specific region, with everyone vying for the Western Conference or Eastern Conference title.
For the Chicago White Sox, that could mean playing in the same division as the crosstown rival Cubs. That would take the Chicago rivalry to new heights.
