Each team would play their division rivals 24 times each and opposite division rivals 6 times each and 18 interleague games.
 
Good idea, but it will never fly.

1) MLB doesn't need to expand anymore, theres already not enough pitching to go around, and you can't further dilute that talent pool.
2) forget Montreal, its broken, and they couldn't fix it
3) Indianapolis would not be a good MLB city, there would be others to consider before that: (Buffalo, Las Vegas, Nashville, Portland, OR, New Orleans, and Charlotte)
4) they need to fix the Marlins, Rays, and Pirates' mis-management's before looking elsewhere.
 
Blue Jays fans would love it ... they would finally escape the Yankees and Red Sox
 
I think it would work except that Montreal gets an expansion team. I mean nothing against the city of Montreal, but they didn't support the Expos when they had them & that is why they are now known as the Washington Nationals
