White Sox Owner Deems Season a Failure

Chicago White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf described the team's record-setting 2024 season as 'embarrassing' and a 'failure,' as they finished with a historic 41-121 record, the most losses in modern MLB history. In a letter to fans, Reinsdorf took full responsibility for the disappointing performance, acknowledging the emotional toll on the fanbase and promising to work towards improvement. The Sox's season included three double-digit losing streaks and a franchise record 21-game skid. Grady Sizemore, who took over as interim manager in August, expressed hope for rebuilding despite the difficult season. The team’s final game saw them defeat the playoff-bound Detroit Tigers, but the overall performance was deemed unacceptable. Reinsdorf emphasized the need to earn back the trust of fans in the upcoming offseason.
