Colorado Rockies: How the Cactus League location could impact the 2020 regular season

Bob Nightengale of USA Today reported on Friday that Major League Baseball is considering a radical realignment of teams based on spring training location. For the Colorado Rockies, they would be in the Cactus League’s Northeast division due to their spring training facility being in Scottsdale, which is on the northeast side of Phoenix.

This would possibly happen so travel could be more limited and minimize the risks for players as a result of the coronavirus.

Since there are 15 teams in both the Cactus and Grapefruit Leagues, each division would have five teams.
