2024 Chicago White Sox season
major League Baseball season
The 2024 Chicago White Sox season was the club's 125th season in Chicago, their 124th in the American League and their 34th at Rate Field. It was their first full season under general manager Chris Getz.
In their worst season in team history and one of the worst seasons in modern MLB history, the team began the season with a 3–22 record, marking the poorest start in the franchise's history, which also tied the worst start in the wild card era with the 2022 Cincinnati Reds and the 2003 Detroit Tigers. This record was also the second worst in modern baseball history, behind only the 1988 Orioles' 0–21 and 2–23 start. On June 6, following a defeat to the Boston Red Sox, the White Sox established a franchise record for the most consecutive losses at 14. During this losing streak, the White Sox had their first winless homestand of at least seven games in franchise history, going 0–7.
On July 14, following a 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.
The record was broken the following year by the Colorado Rockies, who lost 74 games.
The franchise record for consecutive losses was broken again on July 29 when the White Sox dropped their 15th straight game. The streak continued, and on August 5, the White Sox lost their 21st consecutive game.

Why this record matters
The phrase “major League Baseball season” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 9, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q122898140. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2024, 2022, 2003 and 1988.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
