Baseball America has posted an article by Tracy Ringolsby about the possibility of MLB expansion and resulting realignment. The article is a bit frustrating because there’s no way to gauge how real it is. Ringolsby points to “a building consensus that baseball will soon be headed to a 32-team configuration,” likely involving Montreal and Portland. He then sets out a fairly detailed outline for realignment, but describes it simply as “one proposal” without giving any hint of where it comes from. It might be something that’s under active consideration by MLB, or it might just be something somebody thought would be cool.
Expansion and realignment in the offing?
