The Chicago White Sox's 121-loss season in 2024 tarnished their reputation in Major League Baseball. As a result, the team has struggled to attract talent due to perceptions of a poor culture and a losing mentality. General Manager Chris Getz's initiative, Rebuild 2.0, seeks to improve this perception. Veteran pitcher Martín Pérez expresses optimism about the team's future, stating he enjoys the clubhouse culture despite the losing, and even predicts the Sox as contenders by 2026. This could indicate a positive shift in potential player recruitment and overall sentiment.
I say to all my teammates from different teams when they ask me 'How's the team?,' I say 'It's awesome.' I know we're not winning many games, but our clubhouse is nice.
The comments from veteran starting pitcher Martín Pérez should give White Sox fans confidence that things are headed in the right direction. Pérez predicted the Sox to be contenders in 2026.
