MLB 2025: The A's are Playing Where Now?

[Aragorn]

Due to MLB's anti-tanking rules, which prohibits teams from receiving lottery selections for three straight seasons, the Rockies could finish 2025 as the worst team in MLB history and the lowest they can draft in 2026 is...... 10th. That would be like the 0-16 Browns being unable to take Baker Mayfield at 1 and getting Josh Rosen at 10.

I think we have our catch of the year. This was one of the greatest catches I've ever seen.

Sucks to be incompetent. Especially if you’re a ticket buyer.

Angels still won, though.

To be fair, it wouldn't have mattered who the Browns took.

On this date in 1944 Joe Nuxhall becomes the youngest ever to play in a MLB game. And he hit 15 homers in his MLB career which I think is the record for a pitcher. edit: I was wrong about the HRs by a pitcher, thanks to @1001001 for correcting my presumptive error.

Not even close, but still pretty cool.
