It is no surprise to anyone that the Chicago White Sox had a very disappointing season this year. After winning the American League Central last season, the White Sox are just 80-80 on the year currently. They have already been eliminated from the playoffs, with the Cleveland Guardians winning the AL Central.

Many fans were critical of La Russa's managerial decisions and believed he was dragging the team down. Efrain Villalobos@GodbodeEv@JRFegan That's the best news for ChiSox fans. He was horrible and showed the game has passed him by. He couldn't manage a team, made countless poor decisions, and was just flat out bad.@JRFegan That's the best news for ChiSox fans.

Drew (1-1)@Drewct06@JRFegan @Ken_Rosenthal At least he accepted it and didn’t dance around it1@JRFegan @Ken_Rosenthal At least he accepted it and didn’t dance around it Coming into this season, the White Sox were expected to possibly go on a World Series run in the MLB. However, this was not the case at all for Chicago. What happened to the Chicago White Sox Chicago White Sox v Texas Rangers Prior to the start of the season, the Chicago White Sox were expected to be one of Major League Baseball's top teams. In 2021, Chicago won 93 games and played an overall stellar season. They finished at the top of the American League Central and ultimately won the division. Despite losing in the ALDS to the Houston Astros, the White Sox looked like a young and promising squad. This past offseason was interesting for the Chicago White Sox. They let their ace Carlos Rodon walk in free agency for the San Francisco Giants. Chicago then made a couple small moves, shoring up their rotation and their bench. The White Sox appeared to be ready to make their next jump this season. However, the exact opposite happened for the White Sox this season. The team hovered around .500 for the majority of the season, unable to get hot. Luckily, they were still in the division hunt for a while because of the weak AL Central. The Cleveland Guardians then had a red-hot September, causing the White Sox's playoff hopes to crumble. EternalCrescent7@steveej202@JRFegan Time to move on.@JRFegan Time to move on. Ventura23@ChiSox_Hawks@JRFegan Respect Tony for saying that. It’s FAR from all his fault this team is stinking. The players need to be held more accountable than Tony. He is not the one out playing.1@JRFegan Respect Tony for saying that. It’s FAR from all his fault this team is stinking. The players need to be held more accountable than Tony. He is not the one out playing. Now only one can wonder what is next for the team. With some of their players aging, time might be starting to run out for the squad. Do they try again next year, or will we see a complete overhaul of the team? Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by James Meyers × Feedback Thank You!
