The Marlins have a deal for ballpark and the Rays went to the World Series, so they are both out.
There needs to be some realignment, I can't believe more teams aren't outraged that the AL West has 4 teams the NL Central has 6. I don't care how bad the teams are, that's still total crap.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I also think it affects the NL in an adverse way since we have more teams and thus more competition for a finite amount of revenue. This gives an unfair advantage to the AL since we have more small market teams in the NL. If one weaker team were shipped off to the AL it would help balance things out not just in terms of dollars, but in terms of talent as well.
