White Sox tie record for most losses in MLB history

The Chicago White Sox concluded a historically poor season, tying the post-1900 MLB record for losses with 120, a mark previously set by the 1962 New York Mets. General manager Chris Getz expressed understanding of the frustration among fans and acknowledged the team's disappointing performance, which included losing streaks of 14, 21, and 12 games. The team struggled significantly, finishing last in the majors with a batting average of .220 and being outscored 799-479. In the wake of the team's struggles, the White Sox made a managerial change, firing their previous manager, Grifol, during his second season and appointing Sizemore as interim manager. Under Sizemore, the team recorded an 8-31 record, further emphasizing the challenges faced throughout the season. Getz indicated that a thorough search for a new manager would take place after the season, with a focus on finding the best fit for the organization. The White Sox's performance this season followed a disappointing 61-101 record from the previous year, marking their worst finish since 1970. Getz noted that while the team would not be at the top of the market for player signings, there would still be opportunities to improve the roster. The organization is now looking to turn things around and avoid repeating this season's failures. Overall, the White Sox's season was marked by frustration and disappointment, leading to significant changes in management and a commitment to rebuilding the team for future success.
