: The ownership change of the Astros has been hanging in the balance for
: months, as Jim Crane is awaiting approval to buy the franchise from Drayton
: McLane. Wednesday, Peter Gammons of MLB Network reported that the change is
: expected to be made in November. OK, that's fine. Not overly newsworthy,
: really. But then, Gammons added something that very much does matter, for all
: of baseball. The Astros are expected to be moved to the American League.
: This has been rumored for some time, but never really reported as something
: that will definitely happen. Numerically, the move makes sense. The National
: League has 16 teams; the American League 14. The NL Central has six; the AL
: West four. Moving the Astros to the AL West makes sense, and they would have
: a natural division rivalry with the Texas Rangers
