Chicago White Sox jump 7 spots in latest power rankings after dominating week
The Chicago White Sox entered the 2026 season with low expectations from outside their facilities. Indeed, even fans were hoping for some slight improvements from a team that had lost 100+ games in each of the last three seasons.
While it is only May, Chicago is two games over .500 for the first time since September 2022 following their series victories over two of their fiercest rivals, the Kansas City Royals and Chicago Cubs.
Starting pitching is still a grave concern regarding the roster, but the White Sox high-powered offense has been able to show that the team is going to make some noise this year.
The Chicago White Sox slot in at 12th in latest MLB power rankings
Every Monday, Bleacher Report releases their weekly MLB power rankings. Last week, Chicago came in at spot number 19, which was a drastic improvement compared to where they started the season (ranked 29th).
Now, BR has them ranked as the 12th-best team in baseball:
“With a 7-1 record in their last eight games and a series win over the crosstown rival Cubs, it’s time to start taking the White Sox seriously. The starting rotation is still a limiting factor, even with an ace-caliber breakout from Davis Martin, but this is the most improved team in baseball one year removed from a 102-loss campaign.”
As noted above, Davis Martin has been stellar this season. He is currently 6-1 with a 1.61 ERA and has an AL-best 3.1 WAR.
But the offense should not be overlooked. The White Sox are the only team in MLB with three players that have hit 10+ home runs. Munetaka Murakami has 17 (the most in the American League), Colson Montgomery has 13, and Miguel Vargas has 11.
