    I’m sure I’m in the minority but I don’t hate the realignment idea.  They already forced the dh on the NL and everyone plays everyone now so the separate leagues aren’t really a thing.  I guess for awards it makes a difference if only one league.  To me the biggest issue would be the northeast division with the ny teams, Boston and Philly.  Putting major markets and major spenders together is probably not the best idea.  Would the Yankees even want the Mets in the same division?

    You def don't want same city teams in the same league.  You want that crosstown rivalry and then you can't ever use "subway Series" again, lol.

    According to Manfred he wants to realign to cut on travel. (So, would they have 2 teams in the same City in the same Division?) You'd have to think NY would NOT want that.

    I can't really picture Pittsburgh in the east. I know they were before the last big realignment (but then again so were the Cubs and Cardinals).

    You can have literally 8 teams on the east coast that are less than 3 hours away by plane.  Are they considering going back to trains?

    Pittsburgh, Philly, Mets, Marlins, Cincy, St Louis, Nats and Chitown.

    You have an equal amount of teams.  What kind of realignment are you doing?  Are we making it like hockey?

    I can't either but in the sense of four of eight team divisions which seem to be how this might look, I'd rather them than a mix of AL/NL teams in the same division.

    Phillies v Pirates is a great historical rivalry. They should be in the same division. And that will be when the Pirates get good again - they were good pretty much up until they moved to NL Central.
