Chicago White Sox drop 3 spots in MLB power rankings despite 4-2 week
The Chicago White Sox did not get off to a good start to the 2026 MLB season. They dropped their first three games of the year, getting swept by the Milwaukee Brewers on the road. They then lost their second series of the year, dropping two out of three games to the Miami Marlins.
Over the weekend, though, Chicago swept the Toronto Blue Jays, who are the defending American League champions. It was the first time in 30 years that the White Sox swept the Blue Jays. Additionally, their 3-0 record at home to start the season is their best since 2004.
It was not enough, though, for those that make up the MLB power rankings.
The Chicago White Sox drop three spots in MLB power rankings
In the latest edition of MLB.com‘s power rankings, the White Sox were docked followed their 4-2 week. They went from being ranked 26th overall down to 29th:
“Munetaka Murakami homered in each of his first three games and has four homers through his first nine games. It’s been a tough start for the White Sox, but Murakami’s power has been fun to watch.”
The Colorado Rockies are the only team ranked below Chicago.
Indeed, Murakami has certainly been one of the brightest spots for the White Sox so far early in the season. The power that he has brought over from Japan certainly seems to be translating to the Major Leagues, which is great news for Chicago.
While it is true that the White Sox have lost 100+ games multiple seasons in a row, the fact of the matter is that they are currently 4-5. This may not be a great record, but it is still early and they played much better over the weekend than several other MLB teams.
Due to their youth and need to mature and grow as a team, it is highly probable that they continue to be one of the worst-ranked teams in baseball in 2026. After this early season sweep of the Blue Jays, though, they probably deserve to be ranked a bit higher than 29th.
