Contents
The race to the bottom is heating up and these teams are leading the pack. Find out who is the worst team in baseball.
The Cleveland Indians
The Cleveland Indians have been the worst team in baseball for the past few years. They have a terrible record and their players are not very good. They also have a lot of injuries. The only good thing about the team is that they have a lot of young players who could improve in the future.
Their record in 2019
The Cleveland Indians had a disappointing 2019 season, finishing with a record of 68-94. This was good for last place in the AL Central, and was their worst record since 2011. The Indians were plagued by injuries, as several key players missed significant time. They also struggled to score runs, ranking 28th in the majors. The bright spot for the Indians was their pitching, which was among the best in baseball. However, their lack of offense prevented them from competeing for a playoff spot.
Their record in 2020
The baseball world was turned upside down in 2020. The Covid-19 pandemic led to the cancellation of the Minor League season, which had a ripple effect on the Major Leagues. The Cleveland Indians were one of the teams affected by the pandemic, as they were unable to field a full team due to the lack of Minor League players. As a result, the Indians had a disappointing season, finishing with a record of 26-34.
The Baltimore Orioles
Their record in 2019
The Orioles had a record of 54-108 in 2019, which was the worst record in baseball. They also had the worst run differential in baseball, as they were outscored by 235 runs. The Orioles have not made the playoffs since 2016, and they haven’t had a winning season since 2017.
Their record in 2020
The Baltimore Orioles are an American professional baseball team based in Baltimore, Maryland. They compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of the American League (AL) East division. As one of the AL’s eight charter teams in 1901, this particular franchise spent its first year as a major league club in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as the Milwaukee Brewers before moving to St. Louis, Missouri, to become the St. Louis Browns in 1902. After 52 often-beleaguered seasons in St. Louis, the franchise was purchased in November 1953 by a syndicate of Baltimore business and civic interests led by attorney/civic activist Clarence Miles and Washington Examiner owner/publisher William Elijah “Bill” MacPhail. The team’s current majority owner is John Angelos; Peter G. Angelos is chairman.
The Orioles experienced their greatest success from 1966 to 1983, when they made six World Series appearances, winning three of them (1966, 1970, 1983). This era also featured several future Hall of Famers who would later be inducted representing Baltimore, including Brooks Robinson, Frank Robinson, Jim Palmer, Eddie Murray, and Cal Ripken Jr. The Orioles have won a total of nine Divisional and seven Wild Card titles since tastes for baseball began to change at the start of free agency at the end of the 1971 season. But after losing the 1983 World Series to the Philadelphia Phillies and missing the playoffs for 14 consecutive seasons following their last AL East title in 1997 (and 20 straight seasons from 1998–2017), they finally returned to competitive prominence in 2012 under new manager Buck Showalter and General Manager Dan Duquette when they finished second place in AL East behind eventual World Series champions—the Boston Red Sox—earning a Wild Card berth that saw them defeat the Texas Rangers 3–2 in an extra inning thriller at home before losing to eventual ALCS champions—the New York Yankees—in five games; they made it back-to-back postseasons again under Showalter and Duquette when they finished first place atop AL East with 96 wins earning another Wild Card berth that saw them defeat fellow AL East rivals—the Toronto Blue Jays—in an historic 12 inning marathon game 5 before being swept by eventual World Series runners up—the Kansas City Royals—in four games during 2015 ALDS; manger Buck Showalter and General Manager Dan Duquette would ultimately lead them back to glory when they clinched their first ever AL East championship outright since 1997 with 89 wins on October 1st against Blue Jays which gave them home field advantage throughout entire 2016 MLB Postseason en route their third World Series appearance where they would ultimately face off against National League Pennant winners—and eventual World Series champions—the Chicago Cubs ending their 108 year long drought without a championship trophy; They made it back-to-back postseasons for third consecutive year under Showalter and Duquette but ultimately fell short to Tampa Bay Rays during 2019 American League Wild Card game at home ending their season prematurely.
In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic causingMajor League Baseball to cancel Spring Training exhibition gamesas well as delaying Opening Day by at least two weeks amid concerns over said pandemic,theOrioles had one of worst seasons in franchise history finishing dead last witha recordof 25–35 (.417)positional tiebreaker rules resultingthem having second pick overall inthe 2021 MLB draftbehind only Detroit Tigers (.395)and just aheadof Pittsburgh Pirates (.380).
The Detroit Tigers
The Detroit Tigers have the worst record in baseball. They have lost 100 games in a season four times since 2008, and they are on pace to lose 100 games again this season. The Tigers have the worst offense in baseball, and their pitching is not much better. The Tigers are a bad team, and there is no reason to think that they will be anything but the worst team in baseball for the foreseeable future.
Their record in 2019
The Detroit Tigers finished the 2019 season with a record of 47-114, setting a new American League record for losses in a single season. They finished last in the AL Central division, 38 games behind the first-place Minnesota Twins.
Their record in 2020
The Detroit Tigers had a very bad year in 2020. They finished the season with a record of 23-43, the worst record in baseball. They also had the worst run differential in baseball, being outscored by 186 runs. It was their third straight season with a losing record, and their fifth straight season with a negative run differential.
The Kansas City Royals
The Royals have not had a winning season since 2003, and they have not made the playoffs since 1985. They have the worst record in baseball over the last three seasons, and they are on pace to lose over 100 games this season. Their farm system is one of the worst in baseball, and they have very little young talent. In short, the Royals are the worst team in baseball.
Their record in 2019
The Kansas City Royals had the worst record in baseball in 2019, finishing with a record of 58-104. They finished last in the American League Central division, 27 games behind the first place Minnesota Twins. The Royals haven’t made the playoffs since winning the World Series in 2015, and they haven’t had a winning season since 2016.
Their record in 2020
The Kansas City Royals had a terrible 2020 season, posting a record of 26-56. They were the worst team in baseball, finishing last in the American League Central division. This was nothing new for the Royals, as they have been one of the worst teams in baseball over the past few years. In fact, their last winning season came way back in 2003, when they won the World Series. Since then, they have been one of the worst teams in baseball, posting a losing record in all but two seasons. In other words, if you are looking for a team to root for if you want to see them lose, the Kansas City Royals are a good choice.
