I think it would be easier to compete in the NL Central than with teams like the White Sox and Cleveland. The goal of realignment is to maximize revenues by establishing new geographic rivalries and allowing teams to play as many games as possible within their time zones. But, as time evolved, more obstacles arose. The unsettled situations in Minnesota, Montreal, Pittsburgh and San Diego, all of which are threatening to relocate if new ballparks are not built, prevented formulating a final plan. Also, opposition formed within ownership over the possibility of financially compensating teams to change leagues.
Some owners oppose it, as does the players union.
