Which MLB teams are so bad that they will never be contenders?
What are the MLB teams that are so bad and awful that even if you lived to be 100 years old, they will never be contenders.
My Picks:
- Chicago White Sox
- Chicago Cubs
- Milwaukee Brewers
- Kansas City Royals
- Baltimore Orioles
- Houston Astros
I noticed that the owners of these particular teams have absolutely no intrest in fielding a .500 team let alone a playoff contender. If they just want to suck money out of people’s pockets then why dont they just become an Illinois politician
You changed your name form Chicago: Worst Sports City to Chicago: Worst Baseball City. What will you do when each team wins their 2011 championship, including a Cubs v. White Sox World Series where the White Sox win?
You can never say never, new ownership does wonders for teams. If someone that really wants to put a winner on the field takes over one of those teams anything can happen.
The White Sox just won a World Series 5 years ago.
The Cubs and Astros both have payrolls over $100 million, they are just signing the wrong guys to big deals.
But hey, don’t be so down on Chicago since you could be getting a Stanley Cup tonight.
Baltimore
I would say that in 100 years, any team could possibly contend. They could make some good moves on the free agent market and trade market, get some high draft picks after a tough year and in the next ten years, they could be contenders. That is what the Nationals are doing right now. I don’t think that in 2 years they will win a World Series, but I do think that in 5 or 10 years, they could contend. I would not rule out any of these teams. I will bet that every one of them will eventually win a World Series in the future.
well the orioles was always a pretty good until the last 25 years and the rest will probably get there except for maybe the cubs the are the curse of baseball
At sometime ever team was or will be a contender. But for the next about 5-10 years I don’t see the
Pirates, Astros, Oriloes, and Royals making the playoffs.
Washington Nationals
Texas Rangers
Pittsburgh Pirates
Toronto Blue Jays
I’m sorry, but unless these owners are Immortal, they should at some point die (or sell the team, whatever) to somebody willing to field a good team. Only the Pirates (which you fail to mention) really seem to me to be a team unwilling to field a good team- the others are either just stupid (Royals, Orioles) or having ONE bad season (Cubs, White Sox, Brewers).
