White Sox Make History with Earliest Playoff Elimination

The Chicago White Sox have officially been eliminated from the 2024 MLB playoffs, a feat that has never been achieved so early in the season. The team’s dismal performance has been evident all year, and their latest loss to the Houston Astros on Saturday sealed their fate.

With a record of 30-94, the White Sox are now the worst team in the American League, a staggering 38.5 games behind the third wild-card spot. The Oakland Athletics, who are 23.5 games ahead of Chicago, are the next-lowest team in the AL standings.

This marks the earliest a team has been eliminated from playoff contention since the start of MLB’s divisional era in 1969. The previous record holder was the 2018 Baltimore Orioles, who were eliminated on August 20 and finished with a record of 47-115.

The White Sox have made history this season, tying the American League record for consecutive losses with 21. They need to win 11 more games to avoid tying the 1962 New York Mets for the most losses in MLB history.

Despite their dismal performance, the White Sox will be cheaper to watch in person next year, a small silver lining in an otherwise disastrous season. The team’s interim manager, Grady Sizemore, has been at the helm since the trade deadline, but even his efforts have been unable to turn the team’s fortunes around.

The White Sox have been a social experiment of sorts, with fans and analysts alike wondering how a team with such talent and resources could perform so poorly. While there is still a long way to go in the season, it’s clear that the White Sox will not be making a push for the playoffs anytime soon.
