Baseball owners float radical realignment plan
In a far reaching realignment discussion, baseball could abolish leagues and group Pacific and Mountain time zone teams into a Pacific Division while reorganizing into two divisions per league. The plan envisions 14 or 16 teams per league with potential four division formats and cross league rivalries, pending owner and player association approvals. Houston, Detroit, Arizona, Tampa Bay, and Kansas City figures feature in debates over divisional moves and schedule timelines.
