Selig manipulated AL/NL alignment to move the Brewers to the NL in 1998. Then, when the owners and the players decided they wanted each league and division to have the same number of teams, requiring one team to move from the NL to the AL, Selig forced the Astros to move to the AL in 2013 so that the Brewers didn't have to move back.

The 90s were a strange time.

If they wanted the Brewers in the NL so bad, which made some sense, then why not just place both the Diamondbacks and the Rays in the AL?
