Commissioner Joe Reese and the Premier League would work quickly to fill any open spots and make the league whole again after losing six teams to rival leagues. The Premier League would announce the addition of eight teams, with the Denver Buffaloes folding up operations and the league opting to part ways with the San Francisco Dockers, who would later end up joining the International League.

In the Federal League Central Division four teams were added, including the Great Lakes League champion Detroit Giants and runner-up Minnesota Vikings, the 89-41 Louisville Sluggers from the Pacific Coast League, and the Pittsburgh Rebels from the New York Penn League.

The Federal League also added the Hollywood Stars and Washington Huskies from the Pacific Coast League to round out the West Division, with the Continental League adding the Los Angeles Clippers from the PCL to fill their West Division. Then finally the Sunset League Champion Baltimore Clippers will be joining the Continental League Central Division.

Those additions brought the Premier League back up to 36 teams.

That left the National Baseball League as the largest league in the country with 40 teams. The NBL announced one final change for the 1906 season, with the Cleveland Spiders ending operations after the addition of the Cleveland Lakers in the league, and the Virginia Mariners joining the league from the Dixie League.

In the Northeast the New York Penn League announced that they would be joining forces with the New England League in an attempt to corner the market in the Northeast, calling the new league the Northeast League.
