White Sox clinch AL playoff berth after 324 losses over last 3 seasons
- Chicago White Sox clinched an AL wild‑card berth with their 82nd win of the season.
- The team recorded 324 losses over the last three seasons, including two 100‑loss seasons.
- They are the first MLB franchise to make the playoffs after consecutive 100‑loss seasons.
- The postseason berth was secured after the White Sox’s win number 82 this year.
The Chicago White Sox secured an American League wild‑card berth this season, becoming the first Major League Baseball franchise to reach the playoffs after two consecutive 100‑loss campaigns.
With their 82nd victory of the year, the White Sox closed a three‑season stretch that saw the club endure 324 losses, including back‑to‑back 100‑loss seasons. The 82‑win total, while modest, was enough to guarantee postseason eligibility, as reported by ESPN.
This achievement marks a significant turnaround for the franchise, which had struggled to maintain competitiveness in recent years. By breaking the pattern of prolonged losing seasons, the White Sox have re‑established themselves as a contender in the highly competitive American League.
Looking ahead, the team will prepare for the wild‑card game and the subsequent playoff rounds, hoping to build on this resurgence and deliver a deeper postseason run.
