The Chicago White Sox, Los Angeles Angels and Oakland Athletics are the three worst teams in the American League right now, and their reputation precedes them away from the field as well.
The Athletic conducted a poll of more than 100 MLB players on a variety of topics. The Athletics, White Sox and Angels were the three highest vote-getters when 79 of the respondents listed off the teams with "bad reputations."
With 40 votes, Oakland was included on more than half of the ballots. Chicago and Los Angeles got 19 and 10 votes apiece. The Colorado Rockies (10 votes) and New York Mets (eight votes) rounded out the top five.
