Resolution Criteria: Which futility record will the Rockies break?

This market will resolve based on the final regular season record of the Colorado Rockies for the 2025 MLB season, as officially recorded on https://www.mlb.com/standings at the conclusion of the regular season.
The market will resolve as follows:
  • Under 122 losses — if the Rockies finish the regular season with 121 losses or fewer.
  • 122 losses or more (modern loss record) — if the Rockies finish with exactly 122 to 134 losses, inclusive.
  • 135 losses or more (all-time loss record) — if the Rockies finish with 135 or more losses.

Notes:

  • The current modern-era loss record is 120 losses (by the 1962 Mets); this market uses 122+ as the threshold for breaking a modern record.
  • The all-time MLB loss record is 134 losses (by the 1899 Cleveland Spiders).
  • Only regular season losses count. Postseason results are not considered.

Resolution timing: After the Rockies complete their final regular season game and the official standings are published.

Looks great. Just one note. The current modern era loss record is 121 Chicago White Sox which was set last season.
That’s why I suggested 122.

Great catch - today I have to battle with ChatGPT for every little thing. The last criteria was for range-market with only one winner. That's not what we wanted. Here is the revised one, let me know what you think - also can you give me the close date:

It’s a better name than the Guardians. They should have reverted back to the Spiders when they changed the name from Indians.
