During the Little League Classic between the New York Mets and Seattle Mariners on ESPN, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred hinted at a big change.

Baseball insiders have whispered about the possibility of regional-based realignment for a few years. MLB commissioner Rob Mandred was asked directly about it on Sunday night during an ESPN broadcast, and didn’t shy away from his next bold rules change.

MLB realignment is once again a topic of discussion following Rob Manfred's recent comments on the Mariners-Mets broadcast during Sunday Night Baseball.
