Overall, my proposal to expand to 40 teams years after to 32 would add the following cities to each league:
AL: Charlotte and Indianapolis
NL: Hartford and Louisville
CL: Buffalo and San Antonio
PCL: Las Vegas and Portland
And if we truly wanted to make a major-league PCL, some of the teams would change their names to match classic PCL teams:
LA Dodgers to Hollywood Stars (complete with building a new stadium in or near Hollywood)
Oakland Athletics to Oaks
San Francisco Giants to Seals
Seattle Mariners to Rainiers
The name changes might not actually happen due to brand equity, but it's a nice thought.
But one change outside of Indians (which is somewhat seriously being considered) that should happen is Atlanta discontinuing the Braves name amid the social justice climate of now.
They could purchase the rights to the Thrashers identity once used by the second NHL team in the city and repurpose it. The entire look (colors, logos, etc.) would be used verbatim for the team, albeit with the hockey stick of the original logo being changed to a baseball bat. This keeps with the Atlanta team also cutting ties with its past by moving from the NL to the CL.
