I mean, if they get 54 wins, it's still very very bad.

I think their only realistic hope of breaking 50 wins is if the young players make an impact from June +. Even then, they are still rookies.

Maybe Robert has a big year?

The bullpen doesn't blow as many games?

Easy to find ways where they win more than last year, but the bar is very very low when there was no attempt to improve the MLB team.


i was laughing moreso at the qualifier that it would take "some luck " to win more games than the worst team of all time .

The 2024 White Sox literally had every possible thing go wrong and it was clear by June the team was completely demoralized and checked out. They were bad, but I think on paper the 2025 team is actually worse.

They'll back themselves into 50 wins and still be a complete embarrassment, all while claiming they improved from 2024.

Leadership does matter and man did Pedro Grifol really destroy them last year. The team reverted to being merely a normal year’s “worst team in baseball” when Sizemore took over.

Do you know how hard it is to go 10-42 in your division? I don't care if you have the Birmingham Barons out there, it's still a fluke. Baseball is too random to have under 50 wins two years in a row.

It took almost 2 months but it did revert.

Vegas is going to take a beating. It went up 5 games since it opened.

Wowie. The fact that I could only identify THREE fucking players on the 2025 White Sox team after being a Sox fan for over 70 years is amazing to me. This is how pathetic this organization is. Thanks, Reinsdork, for killing my interest

obviously Chris Getz was trying to cut payroll and not compete with his offseason moves, but you could still have minor wins in signing veterans and hoping to flip them midseason

these players all received >$1M guarantees

Josh Rojas - hurt all season
Mike Tauchman - hurt after 12 PA
Martin Perez - out for year after 20 IP
Mike Clevinger - released after 5.2 IP
Austin Slater - hurt after 20 pa

honorable mention to Dominic Fletcher, not a FA signing but targeted in a trade in 2024 offseason age 26, and released this March. SP dealt to Diamondbacks is their 8th ranked prospect and 22 years old in AAA

53 wins and they'll boast about how much they improved in 2025.

Reinsdorf even has Trump beat at Trolling.
