MLB teams eliminated from 2026 postseason

Overview

During the 2026 Major League Baseball season, several teams faced mathematical elimination from postseason contention.

In mid-September, the New York Mets were eliminated following a loss to the Baltimore Orioles, finishing with a 69-81 record. Despite a high payroll featuring players like Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor, the team struggled to overcome an early-season deficit.

Shortly after, the Baltimore Orioles were also eliminated from the postseason following a victory by the Chicago White Sox. The Orioles' season was marked by injuries to players such as Jackson Holliday and Samuel Basallo, as well as significant roster turnover.

By late September, the Seattle Mariners were officially eliminated after a loss to the Los Angeles Angels, finishing the season with a 74-85 record. The Mariners' management and players noted that the season failed to meet organizational expectations.
