When it comes to hope in baseball, what does every fan ultimately want for their team? The correct answer should be a World Series title. Unfortunately in 2019, very few teams harbor genuine hope they'll be parading after the Fall Classic. The chasm between baseball's haves and have-nots has seemingly only grown, leading us to wonder which teams are the most hopeless.
Teams clearly in the midst of a rebuild were easy to include in the list (hello, Tigers, Orioles, Marlins and more). But organizations with questionable track records or unclear paths to contention (Reds, Angels) merited consideration here as well.
