    How Montreal would work is easy. Downtown ballpark, build it and the fans will follow Montreal is a festival city. The downtown core is bustling.. Montreal also has history with major league baseball that goes back to Jackie Robinson playing for the Montreal Royals, Brooklyn Dodgers farm team. Montreal is eager to get the expos back. however, if they do not build a stadium downtown and only have the Olympic stadium, it won’t work in the long run. Short term while a stadium is being built downtown sure. All in all there is a market for baseball in Montreal. Hopefully break the 1993/94 curse. ❤

      That Expos teams of 1993 & 94 right before strike was really strong and could have arguably won at least 1 World Series. Think Pete Rose, former Red (Cincinnati Reds fan) was part of that team very late in his career. As an idea, maybe have new downtown ballpark named after Jackie Robinson. That would make it historic and legacy continue.

    My preference of expansions are totally Nashville and Montreal... Nashville since there are some empty spaces surrounding Braves to Reds, Nationals, Cardinals, and Rays... Also Montreal to get another Canadian teams too... The problem is, best alignment only works if both are NL teams...
    For the division it might depends on where the A's gonna be though, maybe stay in Oakland, or relocate to Vegas, maybe even other sites like Sacramento, Portland, or SLC...
    AL West: Angels, Arizona, Seattle/Colorado, Oakland/Vegas/Sacramento/Portland/SLC
    NL West: Dodgers, San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle/Colorado
    AL South: Texas, Houston, Kansas City, Minnesota
    NL South: Atlanta, Miami, Tampa Bay, Nashville
    AL North: White Sox, Detroit, Cleveland, Milwaukee
    NL North: Cubs, St Louis, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh
    AL East: Yankees, Baltimore, Boston, Toronto
    NL East: Mets, Philadelphia, Washington, Montreal

    Relocation:

    A’s in Las Vegas(confirmed)
    Expansion teams:
    Nashville
    Portland
    The AL and NL have 4 divisions each
    AL:
    North:
    White Sox
    Twins
    Tigers
    Guardians
    South:
    Rockies
    Royals

    East:
    Mets
    Phillies
    Nationals
    Pirates
    West
    Diamondbacks
    Dodgers
    Padres
    Giants
    Each team plays AL opponents seven games but an additional games for division rivals = 108 games
    48 games in the NL including plus an additional 3 games with rival = 159 and an additional 3 games with a random inter league opponent. For example, the Astros won the AL West and the Braves won the NL South and all AL West Teams play the AL South. So the Braves and Astros play 3 extra games, totaling the amount to 162. The playoff format stays the same.

    If you're going to align the leagues at eight per division, then by default the playoff system should expand to 16. Top 4 in each division advance, but are seeded/bracketed based on wins in a best of 3 matchup *solely* at the better team's home ballpark. DS is 3, CS is 5, WS is 7. Everything takes place in October, ends first week of November.
    And every three years, it's WBC time. How do we handle that? Three days after the hypothetical end date of WS Gm7, the qualifiers start. All players have the whole month of October to sign up or drop out.
    Edit: The DS, CS, and WS are split b/t the two teams' respective ballparks. The matchups before that are not.

    Oakland A's will likely relocate to Las Vegas; rumor is that the Chicago White Sox are exploring relocation options, with Nashville garnering the most buzz. The Rays are locked into Tampa after securing a new stadium. Follow the corporate money for viable expansion candidates: for markets without an MLB team, Charlotte currently boasts comparable appeal to Pittsburgh and Seattle. It's not a surprise since the Carolina Panthers and Charlotte Hornets were recently purchased by billionaire hedge fund managers. For a second expansion, I'd opt for the most prominent North American (US/Canada) TV market without a team - which is Montreal.

    MLB needs to address the payroll parity issue before they add more small market AAAA clubs to the majors. There are no major markets remaining that can compete with the current big market teams. People arent going to invest themselves the way they need to for a team that will be a losing team 80% of seasons. Increasing the field will make it harder for the also rans to have their good runs just by increasing the field. NY, LA, SF,BOS,CHI will still be taking an oversize share of top players, playoff berths, and deep playoff runs.
