The Chicago White Sox are enduring a historically poor 2024 season, currently holding a record of 30-96 and needing to win 14 of their last 36 games to avoid tying the 1962 Mets for the most losses in a season. They were officially eliminated from playoff contention on August 17, marking the earliest elimination since the divisional era began in 1969. Interim manager Grady Sizemore has struggled to improve the team's performance, leading to a 2-7 record since taking over from fired manager Pedro Grifol. The White Sox have lost 29 of their last 32 games and are on pace to surpass the modern record for losses in a season, which is 120. Despite some individual player improvements, the team faces significant challenges as they attempt to avoid the worst record in baseball history. With a poor home and away record, the White Sox's season has become a source of frustration and disappointment for fans and players alike.
