After dropping last night’s game to the Yankees 8-1, the White Sox notched their 100th loss of the season. While this is only the seventh time in the 125-year history of the franchise that they have lost 100 games, it is the third consecutive season and the fourth in the last eight. Over 50% of the franchise’s 100-loss seasons have come in the last decade under the stewardship of Jerry Reinsdorf.
While there are some glimmers of hope heading into 2026, there does not appear to be any urgency to improve this offseason. GM Chris Getz has already indicated they are hoping that incremental improvements from the young nucleus will be enough to push this team back to the winning side of the ledger. That plan, on its own, seems unlikely to get the job done, but what else can you expect from a franchise that strives for mediocrity?
