Chicago White Sox Set Record for Losses

The Chicago White Sox have officially set a Major League Baseball record for the most losses in a single season, suffering their 121st defeat against the Detroit Tigers, who clinched a playoff berth with the 4-1 victory. This marks the first time since 1962 that a team has lost 121 games, surpassing the previous record held by the Mets. Despite individual highlights, such as Zach DeLoach's first career home run, the team's overall performance remains dismal, culminating in a 39-121 record and an 82-game deficit below .500. The White Sox's struggles are attributed to injuries, a lack of key players, and the firing of their manager mid-season. As they conclude this historic season, the team is faced with the necessity of rebuilding and reassessing their strategies moving forward. With only two games left, the White Sox's season stands as a cautionary tale in MLB history.
