Since you have found our small corner of the internet, you might be aware of how bad this 2019 Detroit Tigers squad is. The team is currently 39-89, the worst record in Major League Baseball (the Orioles currently sit at 43-88). That record is good for a .305 winning percentage.
So, how historically bad is this team? Thankfully, we have a great benchmark for determining the significance of our beloved team’s poor play: the 2003 squad. The ‘03 Tigers were the worst team in American League history, finishing 43-119 (a .265 win percentage).
