Fun Fantasy Baseball Team Names for Your 2020 MLB League

Theo SalaunMar 17, 2020

Silly fantasy team names aren't for everybody. Many might not even enjoy them. But all that matters is the spark of joy you get from forcing those haters to cringe as they look at the team name beating them on the virtual scoreboard.

Puns and dad jokes offer some sort of superstitious mojo. And we're here to help you annoy your opponents into submission.

An obvious, established team name that's bothered many a foe is "Acuna Matata," based on the Atlanta Braves' Ronald Acuna Jr. Acuna Matata, what a wonderful name. Acuna Matata, of the Atlanta Braves. It means scoring flurries and the best of your plays.
