The proposed realignment of teams looks like a practical joke

According to the Internet, MLB is pondering a bizarre divisional setup for the increasingly endangered 2020 season. Here's the proposal, as floated in the latest round of ether.

GRAPEFRUIT LEAGUE

• NORTH: New York Yankees, Philadelphia Phillies, Toronto Blue Jays, Detroit Tigers, Pittsburgh Pirates.
  
• SOUTH: Boston Red Sox, Minnesota Twins, Atlanta Braves, Tampa Bay Rays, Baltimore Orioles.
  
• EAST: Washington Nationals, Houston Astros, New York Mets, St. Louis Cardinals, Miami Marlins.

CACTUS LEAGUE

• NORTHEAST: Chicago Cubs, San Francisco Giants, Arizona Diamondbacks, Colorado Rockies, Oakland Athletics.
  
• WEST: Los Angeles Dodgers, Chicago White Sox, Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Indians, Los Angeles Angels.
  
• NORTHWEST: Milwaukee Brewers, San Diego Padres, Seattle Mariners, Texas Rangers, Kansas City Royals.
• 
  

Zoiks. You can argue that anything is better than nothing. But at first glance, this looks flat-out batty. Of course, it's based entirely on where teams play spring training. After that, nothing makes sense. Some cocktail napkin observations: 

Tampa doesn't even get to play in its own town. Do the Yankees become Tampa's home team? 

The Yankee-Redsock rivalry goes down the tubes, along with the Cubs-Cards and Giants-Dodgers. 

Gleyber Torres won't get to hit 20 home runs against the Orioles.

Considering that MLB would surely play a short season, you wonder if six divisions are necessary.

Again, anything is probably better than nothing. But the biggest conclusion from this plan is the daunting task of creating a season on the fly.
