The Badder Five are in — and some teams are fighting for the crown of worst in baseball. In this week’s Swing Batter, the crew breaks down the worst MLB teams of the week, including why the Rockies, Angels, and Marlins are dominating the bottom of the standings.

Also: Has Mike Trout’s Hall of Fame path derailed for good? Injuries, strikeouts, and declining stats are piling up. We dig deep into the Trout dilemma — is he David Wright or Dale Murphy 2.0?

From Atlanta’s unexpected struggles to the Tigers quietly dominating, we cover the wildest MLB narratives of early 2025. Plus: which overpaid pitchers are leading the WIP race to the bottom?
