MLB To Expand To Montreal & Portland, Realign?

Forums:

There's a certain logic to all of this, but traditionalists will gripe.  This would be a radical adjustment.

They better get rid of the automatic out (pitcher) hitting in the National League. If a position player batted that poorly he would be released.

#AL-Baseball-Is-Better

Montreal is a awesome city visited back in 1990's wearing my Boston Bruins jersey we where treated great by Canadians fans who were just happy to drink and talk hockey with new peeps. Montreal deserves a baseball team and by the way fuck the Montreal Canadiansdevil

St. Catherine Street is wild 

That would have to mean DH for every team

baseball is so tied to its traditions, I'm not sure something this radical will fly. That realignment idea doesn't use the words "American League" and "National League" anywhere, are they really going to fade away?

rationalizing travel for the west coast teams would be a big deal for them, and would save everyone $$ on traveling.

I think that plan sucks and The DH is a joke

Yeah they carefully avoided talking about NL and AL but that has been going away for years. I prefer NL baseball, but the owners don’t want their multi-million-dollar pitchers taking swings and running bases with all the injury possibilities, and the players union doesn’t want to give up those huge extra year salaries that allows hitters to extend their careers.

In the end the money will win and the DH will be adopted by the whole league.
