The Chicago White Sox<\/a><\/span> will be a team to watch this season, improving in 2025 (60-102) after setting the all-time loss record in 2024 (41-121). <\/span><\/p>\n

More News:<\/strong> Chris Getz has confidence in the Chicago White Sox\u2019s future<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The White Sox and general manager Chris Getz did well to supplement the roster, and it will be on manager Will Venable to get the most out of his players. In his second year as the White Sox skipper, Venable is excited about establishing a new team identity with the players he has, but emphasizing that they\u2019ll need to remember to do the little things to win games. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s been exciting, you know, one we were all just excited to get back together after a long offseason,\u201d Venable said on MLB Network Radio. \u201cThese guys did a great job being connected during the offseason and going about their offseason the right way. Our staff did a great job continuing to help them develop. And yes, we’re just excited to be here, and this is extremely competitive group that’s just itching to get going.<\/span><\/p>\n

Obviously, wins and losses matter, and they’re going to matter every year. But for us, it’s going to be at the process. And really, like we have identified these things, you know, up front that we want these guys to create habits around. You know, the first step on defense, you know, the first step out of the box, simple things like covering first base, you know, things that you have to do to win games, knowing that there’s more layers to it, and these guys will figure the rest out. But That for me is, you know, as we experienced 2025 towards the end of the year, that’s what we were pounding our fist on the table for. We imagine that it’s going to be more of the same, but hopefully we just get a couple more wins.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
