The Chicago White Sox are experiencing a historically challenging 2024 season, with the potential to record the worst season in modern MLB history. They are on pace to finish with a 38-124 record, surpassing the 1962 New York Mets for the most losses in a season. Currently, the team is in the midst of a 21-game losing streak, tying the American League record and nearing the modern MLB record.

Statistically, the White Sox rank at the bottom in several categories. Their .216 team batting average is the lowest in the league, and their team ERA of 4.87 ranks second to last. The team's run differential is projected to be -336, approaching the all-time worst of -349 set by the 1932 Boston Red Sox.

The team has also been shut out 15 times this season, with projections indicating they may be shut out 21 times by the season’s end, placing them among the most in a single season. The White Sox's managerial challenges are also evident, with manager Pedro Grifol’s record standing at 88-189, resulting in a winning percentage of just .319.

Despite these struggles, the White Sox are committed to improving and ending the season positively. They aim to break the losing streak and focus on building a stronger foundation for the future. While this season has been disappointing, fans remain hopeful for a turnaround in the coming years.
