Only eight teams in the expansion era (since 1961) have lost more than 110 games in a season. The closest any team has come to 120 is the 2003 Detroit Tigers, and they came as close as you can come…
After two years of trading away their best players and re-stocking the roster with journeymen veterans and mid-level prospects, the A’s roster has the look of an expansion team. And they are playing like one.
A long, dreary season was universally expected, what with all the trades leaving a payroll of about $59 million, by far the lowest in the baseball, and a farm system that has mostly failed to produce any prospects to build around. But this is worse than even the least encouraging projections. The closest any team has come to 120 is the 2003 Detroit Tigers, and they came as close as you can come. The Tigers, managed by Alan Trammell, lost 119 games, They avoided 120 by winning five of their last 6 games, including one in the bottom of the ninth inning on a wild pitch.It’s a long season, and while small sample sizes make for great debate, they tend to be undependable. After 13 games this season, the Tampa Bay Rays were on pace to go 162-0.
