Description

When MLB commissioner Rob Manfred talked expansion in a recent interview, he talked about geographical realignment, sparking a larger conversation across baseball about how divisions and leagues in baseball would change if two new teams were added. For the Diamondbacks, realignment sparks a host of questions. 

Will the D-backs ever be able to escape the Dodgers as a divisional foe? What about the Padres and Giants? Will MLB really eliminate the National League and American League and go to an Eastern and Western conference instead? Meanwhile, MLB and ESPN reportedly agreed to a new TV deal and D-backs fans will be affected. 

We also preview the upcoming series against the Cincinnati Reds, which will likely feature the return of catcher Gabriel Moreno. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory.
