I’d be alright with that scenario. I’d also say “if” it happens, but we all know they’re after the money from the expansion.

I’m curious how the scheduling works out. I really like the format and getting at least a series with everyone. To do the same with two new teams, it looks like a 158 game season if they kept that same format?

It gets easier.

play 13 against each team in your division (same as today) = 39

play 6 (home and home) against everyone else in your league = 72 (today, you play 7 against 2 of the other 10 teams)

play 3 against all teams except one in the other league (same as today) = 45

play 6 (home and home) against a designated “rival” in the other league (like today) = 6

= 162

Damn, I knew I missed one. Forgot about the home/home with a “rival” series. So yeah, works out just peachy on that.

The designated rival idea gets kind of wrecked if you're realigning geographically. 

It gets harder but still some obvious ones with the above proposed:

Yankees/mets

white sox/cubs

guardians/reds

royals/cardinals

orioles/nationals

angels/dodgers

athletics/giants

red sox/braves

then it gets a little sideways/grab bag:

twins/brewers

mariners/padres

Blue jays/phillies

tigers/pirates

rockies/marlins

astros/d-backs

rangers/rays

new team/new team

Rockies Pitcher Pledges To Give Up Home Run For Sick Child

DENVER—In an effort to make sure the young leukemia patient’s night at Coors Field was a special one, Colorado Rockies pitcher Kyle Freeland pledged Saturday to give up a home run for a sick child, ballpark sources confirmed. “Hey buddy, when I go out there tonight and serve up a meatball for the Diamondbacks to nuke into the bleachers, I just want you to know it’s all for you,” Burke said to the 7-year-old fan before the game, adding that he’d make sure the home run ball found its way back to the child so he could always remember how badly the Rockies lost. “This is your night tonight, and I’m gonna go out on that mound and put a nice, fat pitch right over home plate for someone to knock out of the park. That’s a promise. And the rest of the team knows you’re watching, too, so keep your eyes peeled for some dropped fly balls and half-assed base running from them to you.” After giving up the pledged home run at the top of the third inning, Burke reportedly led the entire stadium in a round of boos for the sick child.
