Wherever they need to be to land Chase Dollander, that's all that matters to me.

Better than tanking your way to it.

I think a big time SP is what the farm needs next and as of right now he's the clear top. I like a handful of bats too but the Reds just stockpiled bats at the trade deadline.

How often do teams lose 100 games in the 162-game era?

The Cincinnati Reds joined the 100 Club for the first time in 40 years in emphatic fashion, falling 15-2 to the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday in the final game of the 2022 season.

It goes down as the second 100-loss season for the Reds, who finished 62-100, and their first since a 61-101 season in 1982.

How often do teams lose 100 games in the 162-game era?

Since 1961 when the American League adopted the expanded schedule and 1962 when the National League followed suit, six teams never lost 100 games:

The Philadelphia Phillies; St. Louis Cardinals; Los Angeles Dodgers; Colorado Rockies; Los Angeles Angels; and New York Yankees.

The other 24 teams have combined for 85 100-loss seasons or an average of about 1.4 per year, though there have been more in recent years.

There were four 100-loss teams this season, four last season, four in 2019 and three in 2018.

Here’s a glance at who leads the list of most 100-loss seasons since 1961:

Detroit Tigers (6): 1975 (57-102); 1989 (59-103); 1996 (53-109); 2002 (55-106); 2003 (43-119); and 2019 (47-114).

Kansas City Royals (6): 2002 (62-100); 2004 (58-104); 2005 (56-106); 2006 (62-100); 2018 (58-104); and 2019 (59-103).

I'd still go for the reverse draft.

Non-playoff teams pick starting first from the best record to the worse record. And then the playoff teams pick.

Gives some nice incentive to take a shot every year, and no excuses for the tankers (some probably still will tank, showing how little they care).

Players should be happy, as it should increase the number of suiters who want decent players.

I see now that MLB is planning on holding the lottery during this years Winter Meetings in San Diego.

For the first time, the order of the top six Draft picks will be determined by lottery instead of simply being the reverse order of the previous year’s standings, with the lottery expected to take place at the Winter Meetings in San Diego in early December.

I like the idea, and have even advocated for it myself. But if they insist on a lottery, the odds should be based on number of wins rather than number of losses. You could also go by record from the past three seasons, instead of just the most recent season. That would make tanking even less lucrative.

This. Incentivize winning. Sports are about trying to win. The winners should be rewarded. Play-off teams are rewarded. The others should be rewarded for being better than the best of the rest.

I'm surprised the Rockies have never gotten to 100 losses.
