As Major League Baseball continues to explore every possible option in planning for a potential season amid the coronavirus pandemic, a new plan has surfaced that would radically change the divisional alignments and effectively eliminate the American and National Leagues for the 2020 season.
According to the USA Today, a plan is being discussed that would realign Major League Baseball into six divisions modeled after the Grapefruit and Cactus Leagues to allow for teams to take advantage of geographic proximity in the event games need to be played exclusively in Arizona and Florida.
Under the proposed plan, the Angels would play in the Cactus League West, along with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Chicago White Sox, Cincinnati Reds, and Cleveland Indians.
