Something like:

West:Padres/Dodgers/Angels/Giants/Mariners/Las Vegas As/rockies/Diamondbacks

Central: Astros/Rangers/Cardinals/Royals, Twins, Brewers, Cubs, White Sox

NE: NYY/Mets/Phillies/Bo Sox/Toronto, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburg

SE: Marlins/Rays/Braves/Raleigh expansion/Nationals/Orioles/Nashville expansion/Reds

If the expansion is Salt Lake you put them in the West, then you move the Rockies to Central, both Texas teams to the SE, and the Reds to Central.

That SE division is absolutely atrocious, certainly does not reduce the "terrible division winner" issue.
