The 2024 Chicago White Sox are making history for all the wrong reasons. On Monday, they tied the American League record for consecutive losses dropping 21 straight before finally picking up a win on Tuesday night in Oakland.
Nearly three-quarters of the way into the season, the numbers are staggering: a .241 winning percentage that puts Chicago on pace for 123 losses, a 28-88 record that is already 41 games behind first-place Cleveland in the AL Central and a negative-247 run differential that is 70 runs worse than the closest team.
To put it all in perspective, we asked ESPN MLB experts Bradford Doolittle, Jesse Rogers and Jeff Passan to break down the chances the White Sox finish the season with the worst record in MLB history, the clubhouse vibe during their historic struggles and how a team that won 93 games just three seasons ago sunk to this level of woefulness.
