Rockies on track for worst MLB season ever
DENVER (KDVR) — The Colorado Rockies are on track to become the owners of the worst season ever recorded in the history of the MLB.
When people refer to records, they often mean in the modern era of the MLB, but the Rockies are not only on pace to be the worst of the modern era, but all of the MLB since its inception in 1876.

The team has yet to hit double-digit wins this season and stands at a 9-47 record, with just a third of the 162-game season out of the way.
The 2024 Chicago White Sox set the modern era's worst season when they finished 41-121 last year. The Rockies are on pace to be well below that mark.

The last unwanted record the Rockies set was at the 50-game mark, when the team claimed the worst 50-game start to a season in the MLB modern era.
Since that point, the Rockies have only won a single game, albeit against the New York Yankees, who are one of the top teams in the league at the moment.

On Friday evening, the Rockies take on the Yankees' noisy neighbor, the New York Mets, also one of the best teams in the league, for the start of a three-game series, and a six-game road trip that ends with three games against the Miami Marlins after the turn of the month.
If things keep going as they are currently, the Rockies will finish the season with the most losses ever recorded at 136 losses for the 2025 season. The most losses are held by teams including:
1899 Cleveland Spiders: 20-134, .131%
1916 Philadelphia A's: 36-117, .235%
1935 Boston Braves: 38-115, .248%
1962 New York Mets: 40-120, .250%
1904 Washington Senators: 38-113, .252%
2024 Chicago White Sox: 41-121, .253%
The Rockies are on the hunt for 10 wins and will achieve double digits with the team's next victory.
