Chicago White Sox face historic loss in 2024 season

The 2024 Chicago White Sox are experiencing a historically poor season, currently on track to surpass the 120-loss record set by the 1962 New York Mets. As of mid-September, the team has lost 15 consecutive games at Guaranteed Rate Field and 27 of their last 28 overall. Their recent shutout loss to Cleveland marked their 17th of the season, further solidifying their position as one of the worst teams in modern baseball history. The White Sox's struggles are evident in their home performance, where they have recorded only 18 wins against 56 losses. Their last victory at Guaranteed Rate Field was a surprising 12-2 win over the New York Yankees on August 12. Since then, the team has faced a series of defeats, including a record-setting 14 consecutive home losses. With only a few weeks left in the season, the White Sox are eight losses away from breaking the modern-day record for losses in a single season. The team’s management and fans are left to wonder if they can secure at least three wins before the end of the season to avoid infamy. The situation has led to a sense of resignation among players and fans alike, as the team appears to be on a path toward historic failure. The White Sox's performance this season has raised questions about the future of the franchise and the potential need for significant changes in management and player personnel to rebuild and improve moving forward.
