Chicago White Sox receive near failing grade 20 games into 2026 MLB season
Prior to the start of the 2026 MLB season, there were not many who believed the Chicago White Sox would be very good. After all, they lost 100 or more games in 2023, 2024, and 2025. However, they improved from 2024 to 2025 by 19 wins, and fans hope they would at least improve again this year.
While they have only played 20 of 162 games, the White Sox have not shown any signs of improvement. They are currently 7-13 and on pace for 104 losses, which would be two more than their 2025 total.
Indeed, very little has gone right for Chicago this year, and they have received a near-failing grade for their performance thus far.
The Chicago White Sox receive a D- through their first 20 games
Bleacher Report recently gave each MLB team a letter grade for their performance over their first 20 games. Unsurprisingly, Chicago did not grade well, receiving a D-:
“The good news is Munetaka Murakami is hitting the ball well with five home runs and an OPS north of .800. The bad news is no one else on this team has been able to hit the broad side of a barn while Opening Day starter and 2025 All-Star Shane Smith has already been optioned back to Triple-A. A fourth consecutive season with at least 100 losses remains a real possibility here.”
Indeed, Munetaka Murakami has been the most exciting player on the White Sox to watch this season. His power cannot be denied and he should hit 30 or more home runs this year.
Unfortunately, his strikeout numbers are exactly what many teams feared they would be when they declined to sign him this off-season. Through 20 games, Murakami has struck out 28 times, meaning he is on pace to strike out well over 200 times in 2026.
How fitting it is for the current White Sox that one of their lone bright spots this year also has massive concerns.
