The 2024 Chicago White Sox season is the club's 125th season in Chicago, their 124th in the American League and their 34th at Guaranteed Rate Field. It is their first full season under general manager Chris Getz.
The team began the season with a 3–22 record, marking the poorest start in the franchise's history. On June 6, following a 14–2 defeat to the Boston Red Sox, the White Sox established a franchise record for the most consecutive losses at 14. This record was later eclipsed nearly two months later when they endured a 15-game losing streak, culminating in a loss to the Kansas City Royals on July 29.
On July 14, following a 9–4 defeat to the Pittsburgh Pirates, the White Sox established a new MLB record for the highest number of losses before the All-Star break, totaling 71.[1] On August 5, the White Sox experienced their 21st consecutive loss, falling 5–1 to the Oakland Athletics. This marked the first time since the 1988 Baltimore Orioles that a team has endured a 21-game losing streak. However, they managed to break this streak the following day with a 5–1 victory over the Athletics. Additionally, they became the first team since the 2021 Baltimore Orioles to face two separate losing streaks of 14 games or more. Furthermore, they set a record for the quickest assurance of a losing season since the 2003 Detroit Tigers, who lost 82 of their first 111 games, by losing 82 of their first 109 games.
On August 8, the White Sox dismissed manager Pedro Grifol following a 28–89 record at the start of the 2024 season, contributing to an overall record of 89–190.[2] On that same day, the team appointed Grady Sizemore as the interim manager.[3]
On August 17, with their loss to the Houston Astros, the White Sox became the first team to be eliminated from playoff contention. It surpasses the 2018 Baltimore Orioles for the earliest playoff exit since the divisional era in 1969.[4]
