Yeah, I think Josh's idea was to add a team to each division, though I agree with AngelsGM if we add 4 we should split into 6 divisions of 4 teams each. I'm all for that if we have a couple guys on a waitlist and only have temporary owners (whether that's the league or other owners) watching 1 or 2 teams max. I'd volunteer to foster an NL team if it came to that. I don't think there is a saturation problem that is severe enough to warrant expanding the league without at least 2 new owners. All you MSL guys, how many others who haven't already joined might be willing to take on an expansion team in Vav? We should start there. And if we get that far, I vote for a real expansion draft (we can work out the details) as opposed to just giving them empty shells and having them start from nothing (might making it harder to give the teams away). Honestly, I think the big thing that's causing a hang up on some MSL guys is just having to go to another forum. MSL used to be on a different site, and it took forever to get people to constantly check in. Eventually we merged and things turned out for the better overall. Take it fwiw.
Now Kingdom is going to harangue me.
I wish to harangue you as well! Get over here. Take a team. Come on out to the beach. We'll have some fun. (What movie?)

I think it makes sense to expand if we can pull it off

Oh, there's the harangue.
For example, Schisno I'm fairly certain would love to start an expansion team, but he's not going anywhere else to talk trades or stuff, but he's a concrete example.
No, Harang is on the Astros I believe

NL Central Chi. Cubs Florida - (could become Milwaukee?) Pittsburgh St. Louis

Proposed AL West and NL East already looking stacked....ideally, we wouldn't have two new teams in the same division (NL West might be a little soft for a while)...maybe an existing team could move cities to SF or Colorado (or AZ I guess)?

I have my mind set on moving from Montreal eventually, but I'm happy to switch to Arizona instead of Nationals and do it in the upcoming off-season, since Montreal got their "happy ending".
That way we could go with this: NL East Atlanta Florida (instead of Montreal) Philadelphia NY Mets
NL Central Chi. Cubs Cincinnati * Pittsburgh St. Louis
NL West Arizona (Montreal) Los Angeles San Diego San Francisco*
NL East wouldn't be as stacked and theoretically each division gets one new GM.

I like the Expos idea for the NL. We need to tweak the AL just a little bit since the AL West is going to be loaded while the other two...I mean, we are always going to look a little unbalanced as GMs go through their team building strategies but with Houston having fully entered a rebuild stage..they and Toronto are worse than an expansion team lol.

I welcome the challenge of a stacked west

If it would help, I’d swap rosters with Baltimore’s expansion roster and take my talents back to Charm City.

All good ideas.. we could even make the schedule even and still do the top 4 make the playoffs for the first couple seasons after expansion
