July 24, 20206 yr I live in Nashville now, so this is pretty groovy, as long as this prospective team doesn’t end up in the Marlins’ division somehow.

Depending on how they go about realignment, it is very possible. Geographic realignment is going to get a massive boost from this shortened season, I think.

The only teams not close to anyone, really, are all out west - we'd need to make a division of just western teams. Mentioned that earlier in the thread - the five California teams, Colorado, Seattle, Arizona. It would be nice to split it into an East and West conference but more than half the teams are on the eastern half of the continent. (Would say country but Toronto ...)

In any sort of expansion, they'd have to add at least two teams to keep the numbers even. So that'd wind up being 1 in each league. Putting them in the NL would give Atlanta and Cincy a nearby division rival. Without altering what existing teams are in what leagues, they could go like this: NL Southeast: Marlins, Braves, Nashville, Reds (could swap Reds with Nats) Northeast: Mets, Phillies, Pirates, Nationals (could swap Nats with Reds) Centeral: Cubs, Cardinals, Brewers, Rockies West: D'backs, Dodgers, Giants, Padres AL Southeast: Rays, Astros, Rangers, Royals Northeast: Yankees, Red Sox, Blue Jays, Baltimore Central: Indians Spiders, Twins, White Sox, Tigers West: Angels, Mariners, A's, Portland/Vegas Alternate AL (if they go Montreal instead of a Portland/Vegas team Southeast: Rays, Astros, Rangers, Baltimore Northeast: Yankees, Red Sox, Blue Jays, Montreal Expos Central: Indians Spiders, Twins, White Sox, Tigers West: Angels, Mariners, A's, Royals Edited July 25, 20206 yr by rmc523

This is an MLB desert right now. The closest thing is the Braves, who are four hours away, and more people care about the Nashville Sounds than the Braves around here.

Midwest: Rockies, Tigers, Cubs, White Sox, Cardinals, Royals, Brewers, Twins. Southeast: Marlins, Rays, Astros, Rangers, Braves, Orioles, Nationals, Nashville expansion team. Northeast: Reds, "Indians", Pirates, Phillies, Blue Jays, Red Sox, Yankees, Mets. It could work, geographically cuts down travel a bunch and each division can still be fairly competitive. Let us compare.
