Yahoo's 'Best MLB Team' Bracket is an Absolute Disaster

With March Madness cancelled and MLB action on hold due to the coronavirus, Yahoo Sports tried to tap into deprived fans' love of these two sports by creating a baseball bracket to determine the greatest team of all time.

This bracket has some serious warts, however, as some of the choices on seeding are bizarre and make no sense.

There is a LOT to unpack here. It's like they did this to make us angry.

Did anyone, even the most diehard Chicago Cubs fan, think the 2016 cursebreakers were better than every other MLB team ever except the '27 Yankees? For goodness sakes, they fell down 3-1 to an inferior Cleveland team. Furthermore, why are the '98 Yankees, who won 114 regular season games and swept the San Diego Padres in the World Series, the No. 6 seed?

Even after all of the confirmed cheating that now surrounds and taints the 2017 Houston Astros, Yahoo saw fit not only to include them on this list, but also to put them above a 2001 Seattle Mariners team that won 116 games, and a 1989 Oakland A's team that swept the San Francisco Giants in the World Series.

Get them off of this list, and take the Cubs down a few pegs.

This could be a really interesting bracket, as it will be fun to see how fans view the best teams in the Golden era of baseball and the late 20th century against the best modern teams, but that doesn't change the fact that there has been some egregiously poor seeding.
