2024 White Sox are officially the worst team in modern history

The 2024 White Sox are officially the worst team in modern MLB history, suffering their 121st loss to the Tigers in Detroit.

Why it matters: The White Sox (39-121) have etched their way into the record books for the worst possible reason, humiliating fans.

State of play: The Sox broke the record set by the 1962 New York Mets, who lost 120 games that season.
