The Athletics have been one of baseball's worst teams over the last three years, haven't made the playoffs since 2020 and annually field one of the lowest payrolls in the MLB. Throw in the fact that the franchise is currently calling a minor league ballpark in West Sacramento home, after fleeing Oakland in hopes of one day playing in Las Vegas, and it is little surprise that players don't have great things to say about the organization.
In fact, based on an anonymous poll of more than 100 big leaguers by The Athletic, the A's are the most disliked franchise in the entire MLB.
