MLB Realignment

 
I don't have a problem with having two pro leagues for one sport, but I do have a problem with inter-league play. With my system, there will still be two leagues, the Grapefruit League (GL) & the Melon League (ML.) However, making two teams that play with different rules play each other doesn't work. With my system, there will be no inter-league play, & The All-Star Game won't mean anything (there will still be a World Series.) "Major League Baseball," will only have three rules, the rest shall be made by each league. The MLB rules are: 

  • Never shall a team from the Grapefruit League & the Melon League play each other, except in the World Series. 
            a. There will be an All-Star Game, where each league picks its best players in an "all-star" team, & plays the other.            
  • Each League must allow a Designated Hitter to be used.  
  • In the World Series, or All-Star game, the home team's League rules will be used.  

Each league will have four divisions with four teams based loosely on location. 

GRAPEFRUIT LEAGUE: 

Southeast Division: 
 


 

 
This one is simple, put all the most south east teams in the most southern division.

Northeast Division:  
 

 

 

As I said at the top, with 15 teams, you can't have even divisions, so I've given two cities expansion teams in each league, in this league, I gave Montreal the Expos back.

Central Division: 


 

Pretty Simple. 

Pacific Division: 

 

 

 
Put the Western most teams in the most Western division.  

MELON LEAGUE:

Southeast Division:
 


 

 
My second expansion team, Jacksonville's AA Suns will move to Panama City, & they'll get a MLB team with the same name. 

Northeast Division: 
 

 

 

Three of these teams were in the central. They're now in the northeast to make room for the central.  

Central Division: 
 

 


 
Now I'm starting to see a few teams that aren't in their closest division. 

Pacific Division: 
 

 


 The most location based division of all.
