Rob Manfred intends to pursue MLB expansion and geographic realignment prior to his 2029 departure. Expansion would create opportunities to adjust divisional geography. Geographic realignment could place the Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox in the same division. Comments made on ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball framed expansion as enabling that realignment. The proposed changes reflect a broader effort to restructure league alignments and divisional composition to better fit geographic logic and evolving league priorities.
It seems inevitable we're facing a future with the Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox in the same division.
MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred, in his quest to change everything we know about the game before he departs in 2029, said as much on ESPN's "Sunday Night Baseball" last week when he said expansion would "provide us with an opportunity to geographically realign."
