Dumpster Fire Division Update: Hello Tampa Bay

When the Dumpster Fire Division was created it was intended to give four of the worst teams in baseball something to play for (other than the 2017 #1 pick). At the time San Diego, Cincinnati, Minnesota, and Atlanta looked like perfect candidates. However, over the past few weeks something has become clear. San Diego likely won't finish as one of the four worst teams in baseball. They were .500 in June and are 8-6 so far in July. The loss of Drew Pomeranz will hurt in the short term, but the Padres don't feel like they belong to this group.
