Future isn’t looking bright for many of MLB’s 2022 cellar-dwellers

Oakland has a new ballpark scheduled for 2025. The team has used a franchise-record 62 players this season. Miami's future is not promising. Derek Jeter left the team president in February.  The Miami Marlins are expected to make a playoff appearance in 2020. They have a promising roster with promising talent.

Sandy Alcantara is signed through 2026 with a $21 million cluboption for 2027.

The Pirates are on their way to their fourth consecutive last-place finish. Washington has made a lot of trades in the last 14 months. Stephen Strasburg is owed $140 million through 2026. The Lerner family is working on selling the team. Joey Votto came to the stands to greet fans. Reds were 10-6 against the AL East. They were 3-1-2 in six games. They have Donovan Solano, Kyle Farmer, and Jake Fraley in their lineup. Their first baseman Tyler Stephenson is out for the season. He was injured during the game against Red Sox.

Trevor Story has played in 62 percent of the Red Sox games this season. He missed 37 games with a fractured bone in his right hand and a few other injuries. Miguel Cabrera is signed through 2023 at $32 million. He has a .703 OPS since 2019. Chris Ilitch owns both teams and trusts Yzerman. YZerman is helping to hire a baseball exec.

The future is not looking bright for many MLB's cellar-dwellers.

Suzuki retired after 16 seasons in the majors. Daniel Bard had his first season with 30 saves. Louisville Slugger announced it would award a Silver Sluggers to a utility player in each league. The Brewers called up center fielder Garrett Mitchell, a 2020 draft pick, after only 132 minor league games. The Yankees drew only 23,154 on the final day of the 1961 season. Roger Maris hit 61 home runs. Baseball commissioner Ford Frick ruled that the home run record would have to be set in 154 games, so attendance dropped. Brian Cashman, John Mozeliak, Mike Rizzo, Andrew Friedman, and Alex Anthopoulos are still in their jobs.
