Opening Day for almost every team is on Thursday.
For baseball fans, the start of a new season is one of the best feelings in the world.
Well…nearlyevery team.
For these five teams, it’s already on to 2025 or beyond.
The new stadium in Las Vegas won’t be ready until 2028.
What are they going to do for the next four seasons?
They can’t keep putting this awful product on the field…can they?
The A’s lost 112 games last year and 102 the year before that.
The A’s are going to lose 100 games again.
No one will support the team for another year (and who can blame anyone in Oakland).
That’s the reason the Oakland A’s exist.
How the team performs on the field doesn’t matter at all.
The fans matter even less.
It’s simply an empty vessel for John Fisher to make money.
Colorado Rockies
The Rockies had the worst ERA in all of baseball last year at 5.67.
You want to blame playing in Coors Field for that?
you could’t blame the high altitude on that.
Here’s who they added in the off-season to help this team with so many pitching and hitting holes.
This team was a dreadful nightmare last year and did less than nothing to make the team better.
Boston Red Sox
Don’t get me wrong.
I’m not saying the Red Sox are as bad as the other teams on the list.
But that doesn’t mean they have any more of a chance of making the playoffs.
Only three of those teams are going to get Wild Card spots.
This really has been a shitshow of an off-season for the Red Sox.
The rotation was already shitty last year and now they no longer have Chris Sale or James Paxton.
The one guy they signed in Lucas Giolito is already out for the year.
The offense will likely be worse without Justin Turner and Alex Verdugo.
Even Alex Cora doesn’t seem committed to this team.
The contract Cora signed in 2021 included option years for 2023 and 2024.
Could Trevor Story be better next year?
Could Vaughn Grissom become a helpful MLB player?
Maybe Brayan Bello and Tanner Houck can take the leap?
But you know what?
All of those things won’t happen and the Red Sox are heading towards a 90 loss season.
Washington Nationals
I need to be fully transparent here.
I said last year that the Nationals were absolutely going to lose 100 games.
They only lost 91.
I’m not going to predict they will lose 100 games again this year.
Having said all of that, the Nats suck.
They have sucked since they won the World Series in 2019.
All of those teams are better than the Nationals.
They will suck in 2025 but they’ll be better faster than every team on this list.
Los Angeles Angels
The only thing worse than the present for the Angels is the future.
They have their worst farm system in baseball.
Now they enter a season with no Shohei Ohtani and no chance.
They play in a very competitive division with the Astros, Rangers and Mariners all very possible playoff teams.
Mike Trout deserves better than this shoddy team that makes it to the World Series every 60 years.
The Angel fans deserve better too.
