The Spiders in 1899 had literally the worst team ever… I can understand why Cleveland didn’t want to go back to that

Because the rules were different at that time allowing their owner to also own the St Louis Browns, IIRC, then shipped all their talent like Cy Young (yes, THAT Cy Young) to St Louis.


It would be the equivalent to the Yankees buying the Rangers and then sending their crap players to Texas in exchange for the team’s stats.
