White Sox Reach 100 Losses This Season

The Chicago White Sox reached a dismal milestone on August 25, 2024, suffering their 100th loss of the season with a 9-4 defeat against the Detroit Tigers. This historic loss marks the first time in franchise history that the White Sox have recorded back-to-back 100-loss seasons, following a 61-101 finish in 2023. They are now the second-fastest team in MLB history to reach 100 losses, achieving the mark in just 131 games, trailing only the 1916 Philadelphia A's. With a current record of 31-100, the White Sox face the threat of breaking the modern MLB record for most losses in a season, currently held by the 1962 New York Mets with 120 defeats. Players express frustration over the team's performance, with interim manager Grady Sizemore acknowledging the dire situation as the team struggles with just seven wins in two months. The White Sox's future looks bleak as they aim to avoid further losses and potentially historic failures in the remaining month of the season.
