Los Angeles Angels fail to reach MLB playoffs for twelfth consecutive season

The Los Angeles Angels have been eliminated from playoff contention for the 12th consecutive season following a loss to the Boston Red Sox on Monday night. This marks the longest active postseason drought of any team in Major League Baseball. Currently sitting at the bottom of the AL West with a 54-90 record, the club continues to struggle as they approach the end of the schedule. The team remains in a position where they could potentially avoid a last-place divisional finish, as they are slated to play the Oakland Athletics in two upcoming games. While the organization awaits a proposed ownership change involving Stan Kroenke, the players face a series against the Seattle Mariners to close out the year. The team holds a 54-90 record with limited opportunities left to add to their win total before the season concludes.
