Sportsnaut on MSNRob Manfred Suggests Realignment Coming: 6 Rivalries That Will Be Intensified, Including Mets vs. Yankees
The Yankees and Mets already have one of the better rivalries in MLB due to having a pair of ravenous fan bases loyal to their clubs. And that is just from a couple of series per year. However, playing each other 13 times a year if they were in the same division might make Yankees vs. Mets even bigger than Yankees vs. Red Sox and Mets vs. Braves.

Once again, Manfred and MLB are putting a quick buck ahead of what's best for baseball and the fans who love it.
