Get rid of the DH, and MLB can do anything they want with the divisions.
I doubt that will happen. I'm ambivalent about the DH. I like baseball with it or without it. But I think the fans have weighed in overwhelmingly in favor of it. It's in use in every single league at every single level with the lone exception of the National League. With heavier attention being paid to PED usgae, you can see offense decreasing before your eyes. The elimination of the DH would exacerbate that. I'm fairly certain that isn't the way MLB wants to go.
I wouldn't say I'm against adding in more offense to the game, but I just dig the strategy used in a non-DH'ed game. IMO, there isn't anything better than a 15 inning National League game where both teams have exhausted their benches, and 8 double switches have been done. You don't get that in the AL, and that's why I find the games less appealing. Matchups and decision making mean alot more in the NL. In the AL, you don't have to worry about going to the bullpen because your pitcher is due up to bat in a 1-0 game, or possibly taking out one of your top hitters in a double switch to move the pitcher lower in the upcoming batting order I'm not saying either side is right or wrong, but that's just how I personally feel about it.
