I want to add two teams to the American League so that both the AL and NL have the same number of teams. I want the cities to be Hartford and Montreal. How would you realign the divisions so that this works?

What I was thinking was to move the Houston Astros to the AL West. This would form a geographic rivalry with the Texas Rangers. I could put Montreal in the AL East so that they could play with Toronto, and Hartford to the NL East so that they could play with the Mets.

This would make the MLB Setup look like this:

AL East
NY Yankees, Boston, Baltimore, Tampa Bay, Toronto, Montreal

AL Central
Cleveland, Minnesota, Chi White Sox, Kansas City, Detroit

AL West
Texas, Houston, Oakland, Anaheim, Seattle

NL East
NY Mets, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Florida, Washington, Hartford

NL Central
Chi Cubs, St. Louis, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati

NL West
Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Arizona, Colorado

If I wanted to promote geographic rivalries even more, I could put Baltimore and Washington in the same division, and Tampa Bay and Florida in the same division, I suppose.
