MLB Geographic Realignment Idea

Pittsburgh (KDKA)- With Major League Baseball considering some form of realignment, former Cincinnati Reds GM and current ESPN analyst Jim Bowden developed his own plan.

Bowden made his changes based on geographic realignment with six divisions of five teams each.

Bowden admits his changes would be radical, but I think they make perfect sense.
