MLB really has to take a look at somehow equalling the playoff races IMO. No idea how they could do that beyond lumping everyone in each league into one large division like they did way back when, and then taking the top 4 at the end of the year and playing off like they do now.

There was talk of "floating realignment."
Basically, if you want to tank the season and guarentee shared revenue then you play in the AL East. Want to make the playoffs and forgo shared revenue, play in the West.
That kind of thing. Silly on it's face, but at least it's innovative. I think a simpler system where the Commish/League Office dictates that (from 2006 to 2009) the AL East is obviously the best and a shuffle is just common sense.
