Tampa Bay Devil Rays

West
Los Angeles Angels
Oakland Athletics
Seattle Mariners
Portland Blue Sox (Expansion Team)
Texas Rangers
Minnesota Twins
Chicago White Sox
Kansas City Royals

National League

Each team will play 5 division rivals 14 times each and the other 2 division rivals 13 times each. Each team will play their oppsite division rivals 6 times each and will play 18 interleague games.
This worked before the Wild-Card was introduced in 1994. The only difference is that the top 2 teams in each division will make it to the playoffs.
Okay, how about this?
Relocate these teams:
Tampa Bay Devil Rays to Orlando to become the Orlando Wizards.

Florida Marlins to Charlotte, NC to become the Carolina Comets.
To anonymous:
Well, baseball is America’s favorite pastime right? Since we have the Red Sox and the White Sox, why not have a Blue Sox team?

Would this be better for Major League Baseball? Looks more even, doesn’t it?

American League

East
New York Yankees
Boston Red Sox
Baltimore Orioles
Tampa Bay Devil Rays

Central
Toronto Blue Jays
Detroit Tigers
Cleveland Indians
Milwaukee Brewers

Midwest
Chicago White Sox
Minnesota Twins
Louisville Sluggers (expansion team)
Kansas City Royals

West
Los Angeles Angels
Fremont Athletics (moving to Fremont, CA in a few years)
Seattle Mariners
Texas Rangers

National League

East
New York Mets
Atlanta Braves
Washington Nationals
Florida Marlins

Central
Philadelphia Phillies
Pittsburgh Pirates
Cincinnati Reds
Indianapolis Comets (expansion team)

Midwest
Chicago Cubs
Arizona Diamondbacks
Colorado Rockies
St. Louis Cardinals

West
Los Angeles Dodgers
San Francisco Giants
San Diego Padres
Houston Astros

Every team will play their division rivals 12 times and every other league rival 6 times. All teams will play 18 interleague games.
This would be a good way to expand the league and still just keep the season as long as 162 games.
There are millions of talented players graduating high school and college. Maybe each team should hire more scouts to search for talent.
Think of it this way.
If this does happen, it can’t expand even further. A 32 team league would be perfect for MLB.
About the Brewers,
yeah they should keep them in the National League Central and put the new expansion team i call the Indianapolis Comets into the American League Central.
For the Athletics moving to Fremont, CA, why not just change their name to the California Athletics?
If I mail this idea to Major League Baseball, they might do it. Just look at how even the scheduling would be!!!
I just realized I made a mistake in the scheduling.
I said the teams would play their division rivals 12 times. It really should be 24 times. I counted the games and now it adds up to 162 games.
To Yankee Dude:
Why not let the Phillies play the Pirates 24 times in the Central Division? They’re both from Pennsylvania.
Putting Houston in the West Division. I did that to match the American League’s Texas Rangers, who are also in the West Division.

I have a better question…what team will eliminate the yankees from the playoffs this year?

Oh how the Mighty have fallen!!! Since their resurgence in the late ninties when they won four world series in five years…the Yankees have collapsed…and are closing in on the Atlanta Braves record of being ousted from the playoffs ten years in a row by eight different teams. The Yankees have been eliminated in the last six years by five different teams. Among them the Awesome Arizona Diamondbacks; the Fearsome Florida Marlins; and the always Dangerous Detroit Tigers. Who will extend the streak this year? Will it be the Devil Rays? The Brewers? or maybe the Awesome Kansas City Royals? Any guesses?

Would this be better and a much more even format for Major League Baseball?

Everybody’s saying that the pitching would be watered down with 2 new expansion teams. This is a big world and there’s a lot of talent around it.
To Michael K:

Las Vegas would be nice but many players from that team would get caught gambling.
To jft_24:

Relocate for no reason? We don’t have to know the reason. The NFL’s Baltimore Colts moved to Indianapolis overnight in 1984.
