Proposed 32 team, 4 division schedule: (7*18)+(8*4)=158.

MLB may be considering it.

Based on 32 teams:

(7*18)+(8*4)=158

In division: three 3 game series at home and the same on the road for 18 games against each division rival.

Against another division rotating every three years: two game series home and road for a total of 4 games against all 8 teams. I'd prefer 3 game series but that adds up to 174 games.

158 games. Difficult to beat that concept. Every team in division plays exactly the same schedule. 80 percent of games in division, making the division meaningful.

Geographic reorganization into four divisions. Tuesday, May 2, 2023

The 30 Major League Baseball (MLB) teams are in 28 cities. New York has two teams. Chicago has two teams...

Here's a link to a map with the 30 teams. You can play with the map to see how absurd MLB divisions are.,,

In addition to the two intra-city interleague pairs, here are intra-state teams:

California:

NL: San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego

AL: Oakland, Anaheim; 367 miles apart.

Missouri: AL: Kansas City, NL: St. Louis; 237 miles apart.

Florida: AL: Tampa, NL: Miami; 204 miles apart.

Ohio: AL: Cleveland, NL: Cincinnati; 221 miles apart.

Texas: Houston, Dallas (Rangers) (both AL); 225 miles apart.

Pennsylvania: Pittsburgh, Philadelphia (both NL but currently in different divisions); 268 miles apart.

Forget the old AL and NL. Nobody really cares anymore.

Below are my suggested four divisions realigned geographically. Two divisions have 8 teams, two divisions have 7 teams. We're stuck with that because MLB has 30 teams.

I decided to keep teams in the same state together.
