The White Sox became the first team to follow consecutive 100-loss seasons by reaching the playoffs, clinching at least an AL Wild Card berth with win No. 82 this year.
The Chicago White Sox have done something remarkable, bouncing back from a dismal three-season stretch that saw them rack up 324 losses to secure a spot in the American League playoffs. This achievement speaks volumes about the team's resilience and determination, as well as the impact of their offseason moves and in-season adjustments. By clinching at least an AL Wild Card berth, the White Sox have proven that they are a force to be reckoned with, even if their recent history suggested otherwise.
What's particularly impressive about the White Sox's turnaround is that they are the first team in MLB history to follow consecutive 100-loss seasons with a playoff berth. This feat demonstrates that even teams that have struggled significantly can make dramatic improvements and compete at a high level.

Will they be able to sustain their momentum and make a deep postseason run, or will their inexperience ultimately be their downfall?
