Well in 2040 at least, as they have just collected their 2nd Championship in 25 years worth of 'Show simming....
First up, why have I done this? Well the main reason is I wanted to start a franchise with ignorance. A world where everyone and everything is new, so to get to that point... SIM!
In case some of you are interested in how the Baseball world fares in 2040, here are some snippets:
First up Cubbies and in fairness the Cubs were good. 2016-2020 saw 5 straight NL Central pennants, 3 of which saw them go on to the NLCS... of course they would lose all 3.
A gap year saw them come back recharged for 2022 and although it was a Wildcard place, another run to the NLCS would wind up.... short. Count that as 7 seasons, 4 NLCS defeats.
Then it happened 2026, mark it down if you are a betting man. Chicago made it all the way and won it.... but theres a twist. In 2026 the White Sox were in the midst of their own little dynasty and the Cubs would be their victim in the World Series, the middle of the White Sox 3-peat between 2025-27.
So yes the Cubs have made it back to the series, but as of 2040, they still havent won one.
-----
The most successful team of the past 25 years, St. Louis. 5 World Championships from 6 appearances.
The Yankees have added just 1 to their tally, coming in 2024 beating the Marlins.
Boston on the other hand have probably been the most dominant AL team in terms of post season appearances. Yet can only count 3 appearances in the fall classic, winning twice.
-----
As for teams at the other end of the spectrum. The Orioles have made the playoffs once, back in 2027 as AL East champions. They did nothing.
Minnesota float in the same boat as Baltimore, albeit with a more recent showing by winning the Central in 2033.
In the NL, Milwaukee have been the team most shy of success bar a pair of division titles won back to back in the early 2020s. Whilst Colorado would hve been up there with just 1 playoff appearance, until they went on to win it all in 2036 by beating out Seattle.... leaving the Mariners still searching for their 1st 'Chip.
Anyway here is a breakdown of the winners; Note those bolded under their own division won their respective Championship, whilst those in Red, lost in the LCS. Same for the World Series, team in bold won it all.
