Historic 100-Loss Season
Los Angeles Angels suffer their first 100-loss season in franchise history.
Anonymous
The Seattle Mariners beat the Los Angeles Angels 7-3 in both teams’ season finale, leaving Los Angeles with a 62-100 record and the first 100-loss season in franchise history. The Angels’ 10-game losing streak ended a turbulent year marked by organizational changes and missed expectations. A proposed sale of the club to Stan Kroenke has raised hopes of a reset, but still requires approval. Seattle finished 76-86 and missed the playoffs.
Key Points
1
The Angels had been MLB’s last franchise never to lose 100 games; their 62-100 finish ended a distinction they had held for 65 years and surpassed their previous worst record, 63-99 in 2024.
2
Los Angeles finished well below preseason expectations: FanGraphs projected a 67-95 record, while sportsbooks set the team’s win total at roughly 71.5 to 72.5.
3
The Mariners built a 3-0 lead against former Seattle pitcher Yusei Kikuchi, then added three runs in the sixth; Randy Arozarena’s two-run double helped put the game out of reach.
4
After GM Perry Minasian was fired on June 26, interim GM John Mozeliak traded away several established players—including Taylor Ward, Jo Adell and Logan O’Hoppe—and left first-year manager Kurt Suzuki with a younger roster.
5
The finale’s loss also put first-year manager Kurt Suzuki’s job in doubt, according to the report.
