| Why doesn't MLB remove one team from the National League and make them an American League team to balance? |

the leagues out at 15 teams a piece. Right now, there are 16 teams in the National League and 14 in the American. That seems ludicrous to me. Also, why are there only 4 teams in the American League West? when most divisions have 5 and even 6 teams? My proposal is to move the Colorado Rockies from the National League over to the American League, either that or take the Florida Marlins from the National and re-locate them to Portland, Oregon and make that team an American League West Team. Or, you could make the SF Giants into an American League West team to balance them out. |

Move the Rockies or Marlins and Create two More Expansion Teams, like in Charlotte NC, and Portland OR, you got 16 Teams in each, this will work. |

The ones who say you can't have 15 teams in each league are correct. And MORE expansion is not the answer. Report It Several teams are not attracting enough fan base to compete. Contraction would be better than expansion. The Devil Rays and Marlins could be eliminated, with one NL team moved to the AL for balance. If you need evens, add the Nationals and Rockies for removal, and relocate the Brewers. Report It The Nationals aren't going anywhere (except into their brand new stadium next season). They're rebuilding after MLB stripped them down to next to nothing--give them a few years & I think they'll be competitive. Report It they should never have moved the brewers If they do that 1 team would have to have an off day each day in each league. This way every team can play on one day. Because the team that moved from one league to another-the Milwaukee Brewers--is owned by the family of the impartial, quick-acting, steroid-conscious commissioner of baseball, (ahem, choking on those words) Bud Selig. red4tribe is correct. And it would likely be for 3 day spans until each series is done. The only way other than that would be have an interleague series going on all the time. If a team, like, say, the Marlins, ever relocates, I think we'll might see more balanced divisions. They've been rumored to be heading to Vegas for years now, and let's face it, the fans aren't doing a good job of convincing them they shouldn't go. Plus, they'd be far enough out west that it would make sense to be part of the AL West. As it is though, there are already too many teams crammed into California, and the support for other major league teams in nearby states isn't that strong. Vegas has the best chance. |
