Two Sports Outlets Predict Potential Changes to MLB with Addition of Two Teams
According to two prominent sports outlets, The Athletic and Fox Sports, the addition of two new teams could drastically alter the landscape of Major League Baseball. Both outlets have put together their own predictions for what the league could look like with the expansion, and one major change involves the St. Louis Cardinals.
Cardinals Could Remain in Same Division, Except for One Major Change
In their proposed realignment, both The Athletic and Fox Sports have the Cardinals remaining in the same division with their current opponents, with one exception. The Milwaukee Brewers would join the Cardinals, Chicago Cubs, and Cincinnati Reds in a new National League North Division. This would create a new dynamic for the Cardinals, as they would face off against a new divisional rival.
