The article discusses the Chicago White Sox as they aim to move past their dismal 121-loss season, a record for the modern era. Players like Andrew Benintendi reflect on the struggles faced during that year, emphasizing not only the bad luck but poor performance contributing to their losses. Despite a new manager, Will Venable, and some changes in the roster, significant player upgrades are minimal. The team acknowledges the ongoing challenge and uncertainty of the upcoming season while maintaining a positive attitude as they prepare for a fresh start on Opening Day.
It was tough, said Andrew Benintendi, one of the returning Sox from that debacle of a season that will have books written about it. All those losses ... we lost games where we were like, 'dang things aren't going our way.'
You have different guys in here than last year ... There has been a lot of good stuff with guys [knowing] what other places do, try to implement that. The attitude has been good.
We're 0-0 going into Opening Day, Benintendi said.
It's something to process that the 2025 Sox could make a 20-win improvement and still lose 101 times.
