MLB Realignment, the Phillies, and You

Eventually, MLB is going to expand. Here's a look at how that might affect the Phillies and their Division.

Well, it’s official: The National Hockey League is expanding to Las Vegas. The unnamed team will begin play during the 2017-2018 season, becoming the League’s 31st operating franchise. It would be the first expansion team from any of the four major North American sports leagues since 2002.

Notably, Major League Baseball has gone the longest of the three since their last expansion, when 1998 gave us the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. But that could be changing some time relatively soon.
