Sox are gonna stink. Pirates, Marlins, and Orioles are three of the worst teams in baseball, so it'd even out

The just slapped Atlanta in that Central division over the florida teams or the pirates to try to keep it more balanced.

Besides the florida teams the other teams are all pretty fun to play especially if everyone gets to play in their home parks.

I’m glad they are leaking out these ideas. That’s probably as good as they can hope for right?

Honestly, I think this idea is super cool. The season is going to be very different anyway, might as well lean into it

Wow - stuff like this blows my mind. I knew the country leaned in that way but didn't realize how dramatic it was as you get that far South.
