MLB Realignment Talks

Two of the proposals I read had the Rangers and Astros together.

I think it is a fine idea.  It is ridiculous that the Rangers have been playing West Coast teams all of these years.
One easy roadtrip would be fine, but the time zone issue is just not fair.

My suggestion.
Move the newer teams and leave the established rivalries in place.
AL
Yankees                  Tigers                Rangers                      
Red Sox                  White Sox         Astros                
Orioles                    Indians              Rockies                  
Blue Jay                  Twins               Angels                        
Nats                         Brewers           Diamondbacks                     

NL
Reds                 Pirates         Dodgers
Cubs                 Phillies        Giants 
Marlins              Mets             Mariners
Royals              Braves         A's
Cards                Rays          Padres

Can you imagine the A's-Giants : Nats - Orioles :  Cards- Royals.  Astros - Rangers.  and the Brewers always should have stayed with White Sox and Twins.
You keep the Cubs-Cards, Yanks-Sox. Dodgers  Giants. Braves-Mets. Sox-Indians.

I didnt know what to do with the Marlins and Rays, I figured the Marlins are likely to move  sooner than the Rays.
