The Houston Astros are no strangers to MLB division realignment. The Astros, who were at one time part of the National League, have been part of the AL West since 2013. But based on recent comments from MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred, the Astros could be on the move once again.
During the Sunday Night Baseball game between the New York Mets and Seattle Mariners, Manfred joined the ESPN broadcast crew and spoke about the likelihood of the league both expanding and the realigning the divisions. The commissioner has long said that once the Athletics and Tampa Bay Rays have their stadium plans in place, the league will look to add two more franchises.
