MLB power rankings: AL Central finds new low, with no winning teams, three ghastly ones

If Major League Baseball warms to the idea of relegation, it may want to consider an entire division instead of just a single team.

Yes, it's getting that bad in the American League Central.

None of its five teams has a winning record and, perhaps most alarmingly, three of them occupy the bottom five positions in USA TODAY Sports' MLB power rankings − a tricky feat given that the historically terrible Oakland Athletics have signed a non-binding agreement for the No. 30 spot.

All hail the Minnesota Twins, who at 33-33 still lead the division − and should be embarrassed if they don't run away with it.
