Ideas have been floated by MLB throughout the last month-plus, including a plan that would have all 30 teams playing in Arizona. But this latest thought experiment appears slightly more targeted and specific, and–if approved–it figures to add plenty of intrigue for the Chicago Cubs.
Bob Nightengale of USA TODAY reported MLB is considering a plan to start the season in June, with teams playing in their home stadiums. The focal point of the project, however, involves realignment.
Rather than being separated into American League and National Leagues, this plan would create three divisions comprised of 10 teams, basing everything on geographic location.
