MLB Announcement Expected

[Slegnaac]

Don't be surprised when MLB announces that they are realigning the divisions based on geographical location and the Angels are in the same division as the Dodgers.

This would be good actually.  Let’s make hating the dodgers even more good and correct.

Watching the Dogs bitch slap the Halos 19 to 20 times a year? No thanks, I no longer enjoy S&M.

It would be 12-13 times per division foe I would think, like this past season.

Or Charlotte, both cities supporting two sports teams already.

The talent is already watered down with too many Owners pocketing the TV Revenue and Luxury Tax and shared revenues without producing competitive teams.  This is just another money grab to collect the buy in $ from awarding 2 new Franchises.

They want Montreal but they couldn't support the MLB team last time they tried it.

My hatred of the Dodgers is already well entrenched. It goes back to the beginning of divisional play in 1969. In their infinite wisdom MLB decided to put a team in Georgia, a state with an Atlantic coast, in the same division with Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego.

Just schedule a series for those two every year, and then conduct the playoffs with everyone else.

Would suck for the Halos to be El Segundo's bitch as well  as the Doyers.

There's so much that could be changing in baseball in the future. 

1. Expansion - My guess is Nashville and Charlotte.

2. Realignment - I expect with expansion will come divisional realignment, and with that we might see the Angels, Dodgers, Padres and Giants in a "California" division. 

3. Relocation - The A's are moving to Vegas. The Rays are moving to Tampa Bay, not St. Petersburg. The Angels may leave Anaheim but will probably remain in the greater LA area. 

4. Rule changes - In the next CBA we'll probably see the league crack down on deferred contracts like Ohtani's and they'll likely usher in an international draft, the trading of draft picks and an electronic strike zone. 

And as far as Angels specific stuff, I think Arte will sell in the next couple years, maybe 2025, the Angels won't spend immediately, but they'll rebuild and get on the right track. Come 2030, their prospects will have matured, and they'll start spending big and return to contention for the first time in 15 years. But the 2020's are going to be pretty sad.

I was actually waiting on this after seeing it here.  False alarm?
