The 2018 Chicago White Sox are on pace for 104 losses, which would be the second-most in franchise history.
But what really matters here is winning percentage, as many past seasons didn’t complete even their shorter, 154-game schedule. So the number to avoid here is 109, which correlates to the losses the team with worst winning percentage in White Sox history, 1932, would have had in a 162-game schedule.
With that out of the way, the 2018 White Sox, with relatively strong play after the All-Star break, are now on pace to be “only” the fifth-worst team in franchise history, falling “behind” even those scoundrels from 1934, who aren’t even included in this survey.
