Hardest MLB rebuild?
I have a few games going outside of my PT and I am enjoying them.
One is a MLB quick start Braves franchise that I simulate day by day. I also have a small fictional universe that I created and am enjoying. I am looking for a third league to get up and going, I want it to be a challenge as take a team from nothing to glory. So what is considered to be the worst franchise top to bottom? My first thoughts would be Miami or Baltimore. But there is also Kansas City and Cincinnati. And Oakland made the playoffs last season but it would be fun to see if I could step in and finally translate their theory of baseball into a championship (or multiple ones) |

Almost any pre-1980 Phillies team, if you're into older games.

Currently, I'd say the Marlins are frustratingly the hardest. However, if you were looking to go from literally nothing to glory, take an expansion team. You might have to institute some house rules, such as no taking major league players in the expansion draft, or something.

For starters, the Reds have a significantly better minor league system than any of the other teams you listed. Cincy is in the top 10 in every list I found, and average around 6th or 7th in most, with KC, Baltimore and Miami consistently ranking in the bottom 10 of most rankings. The Reds also have a bunch of decent to good pieces, either to keep or trade, at the major league level right now, with Eugenio Suarez, Jesse Winker, Luis Castillo, Tyler Mahle, Yasiel Puig, Raisel Iglesias, Alex Wood, Scooter Gennett, Nick Senzel and Sonny Gray being a few examples. |

Miami is difficult because well, its Miami. Baltimore is difficult to turn around quickly because of the contracts but I found them to be kind of easy once you get out from under those. Currently working on a KC rebuild and am early in the 2023 season right now with only two playoff appearances to show so far but the future looks bright.

I would think the Marlins, that have some big contracts and not much revenue coming in. I haven't tried Baltimore yet.

I have an expansion save where the draft was 40 players with 3+ years experience protected per team. That was pretty rough. |

I'm doing a Marlins save now and have had good success for a while. 2 WS wins, countless division titles, 100+ win seasons, i am getting a bit bored of it now. I think I will do an Orioles game in the future using live start just to get through the first season quicker
