White Sox Break Franchise Record With 107th Loss

The Chicago White Sox's season hit a new low on Sunday, with a franchise-record 107th loss in a single season after a 2-0 defeat by the New York Mets. Despite Garrett Crochet's impressive start, striking out the first seven batters and finishing with eight strikeouts over 3 1/3 innings, the team's misfortunes continue. Chicago is now at risk of matching the 1962 Mets' mark for most losses since 1900, at 120, with 24 games remaining.

Interim manager Grady Sizemore emphasized the team's focus on improvement rather than their dismal record. "Our job right now is to try to get a win today," Sizemore stated. The White Sox stand at 31-107 and need to go 12-12 in their remaining games to avoid equaling the 1962 Mets' 40-120-1 record.

The White Sox's remaining schedule includes challenging series against Baltimore, Boston, Cleveland, and San Diego. Having already been shut out 15 times and swept in 22 series, the team's struggles are evident. Following the recent firing of manager Pedro Grifol, the White Sox announced a 10% reduction in season-ticket prices for 2025, reflecting their ongoing decline since playoff appearances in 2020 and 2021.
