NEW YORK -- The Reds have a new rival.
The Milwaukee Brewers became the first Major League Baseball team to switch leagues this century, moving from the American League to the National League when baseball's ruling executive council approved the shift Wednesday night.
The Brewers, who had been in the AL Central, will play in a six-team NL Central starting next season. It leaves the NL with 16 teams and the AL with 14.
As part of the realignment, the expansion Tampa Bay Devil Rays will join the AL East and the Detroit Tigers will shift to the AL Central.
