The Philadelphia Phillies are officially the worst team in baseball following Saturday’s pair of losses to the Miami Marlins. With another defeat in Sunday’s season finale, Philadelphia would post its first 100-loss season since 1969. Heck, it lost to a Division II team in spring training.
With the undesirable distinction, the Phillies are assured the top pick in June’s first-year player draft for the first time since 1998.
CSN Philadelphia’s John Clark sprinkled some satire to showcase the news:
Phillies CLINCH! Phils will have #1 pick in draft after Reds won tonight. #Phillies pic.
