The Chicago White Sox were shut out in their season opener. And the losses kept coming. The Sox finished 2024 with the record for the most losses in a season during Major League Baseball’s modern era,

By losing to the Detroit Tigers 4-1, the 2024 White Sox entered the record books as one of the most inept teams in sports history. Friday’s defeat was Chicago’s 121st of the season, setting the Major League Baseball record for most losses in a single season in baseball’s modern era (since 1901).

The record comes in a season in which the White Sox had multiple double-digit losing streaks and fired manager Pedro Grifol.

July made it clear that history was inevitable. After getting swept by the San Diego Padres on Sept. 22, they were a mind-numbing 84 games under .500 at 36-120, tying the major-league record for losses set by the 1962 New York Mets.

The Chicago White Sox need a manager in 2025 after firing Pedro Grifol earlier in this historically awful season. The question is, who is going to want the job?

The 2024 regular season is now complete, which also means that the details of the upcoming draft lottery are now locked in. Carlos Collazo of Baseball America laid out all the details in a post Thursday morning.

The Chicago White Sox surpassed the 1962 New York Mets for the most losses in modern-day Major League Baseball history.

The numbers across the board for the 2024 Chicago White Sox were absolutely atrocious, but I wanted to point out a few areas in particular. The offense was dismal but it’s never been this bad, and I’ve been keeping this stat for several years now.

The Chicago White Sox suffered loss No. 121 of the season Friday, breaking the modern-day Major League Baseball record.
