I have hopes with the possibility of a universal DH that they might look at shifting the divisions as there likely wont be a distinct National vs American league anymore. The Jays are more natural rivals with the likes of Detroit and Minnesota than they ever were with the Yanks and Red Sox. It's a pipe dream though because they want lesser profile teams to get rolled by the Yanks and Sox every year so they don't cause a stink.
But with Montreal coming into the mix you could have a "AL North" if you shifted things around and had Toronto, MTL(Tampa), Detroit, Minnesota and Milwaukee. I think it would make for some neat geographical and cultural rivalries.
