Average MLB Team Age
1 Philadelphia - 30.2
2 Houston - 29.6
3 St. Louis - 29.1
4 LA Dodgers - 29.1
5 NY Mets - 29.1
6 Tampa Bay - 29.0
7 Chicago Sox - 28.9
8 Boston - 28.7
9 Milwaukee - 28.7
<b>10 Chicago Cubs - 28.7</b>
11 NY Yankees - 28.5
12 Toronto - 28.5
13 Atlanta - 28.1
14 Colorado - 28.0
15 LA Angels - 28.0
16 San Francisco - 27.9
17 Kansas City - 27.9
18 Detroit - 27.8
19 Cincinnati - 27.6
20 Washington - 27.3
21 Seattle - 27.3
22 Texas - 27.3
23 Minnesota - 27.3
24 Baltimore - 27.2
25 San Diego - 27.0
26 Oakland - 27.0
27 Florida - 27.0
28 Arizona - 26.7
29 Cleveland - 26.1
30 Pittsburgh - 25.8
I'd say we're not terribly old. Also, 5 of the teams that are older than us are going to the playoffs. Being an "older" team isn't really our problem. The Cubs problem is having a load of injuries and people having down years. Bring back the same team with some tinkering and we'll be fine.
