11 h. ago Toronto Blue Jays might land in a new MLB division and here's what it could look like

For any fan who's followed the Toronto Blue Jays for a long time, they know just how daunting the American League East can be.The Blue Jays have won the division just six times since 1977, including when it was a seven-team division from 1977 to 1993. The five-team group has remained unchanged since 1998, when the Tampa Bay Devil Rays (now just Rays) joined the league as an expansion team.Since the current division alignment went into effect, 13 AL East teams have made the World Series (New York Yankees seven times, Boston Red Sox four times, and Tampa Bay twice). That's 48 per cent of all possible World Series berths, with the other two American League Divisions making up the remaining 52 per cent.MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred was on an ESPN broadcast on Sunday Night Baseball this past weekend, and explored the possibility of expansion teams, which could also lead to a major reimagining of what the MLB's divisional structure could look like.MLB commissioner Rob...
