first of all, NO MLB EXPANSION! the talent pool is watered down as it is.
second, if the yanks went to the NL BEAST, it would heat up the rivalry with the yankees. right now the mets roster is superior to the yankees in every way, so they would finish above the yankees.

I don't think the talent is watered down. I think the game has changed with the specialized relief pitching and "high-light-reel-homers-are-more-important-than-wins" mentality that we are seeing some poorly played games.
It seems like every year the top teams are the ones who actually take the time to do the fundamentals right.

I want to see 32 teams. It is the perfect number for a league. If they must move teams, I would prefer they move ones that have never won a World Series, however I would hate to see the Mariners move.

Sure, why not?
They have only been in the American League for 117 years.
Who cares about that?

They were the Milwaukee Brewers from 1900 - 1901 then the St Louis Browns from 1902 - 1953 and then the Baltimore Orioles from 1954 - 2017.

Ok, if you including the Browns then it makes sense.

It's the same franchise ( even though they rarely reference it )
