White Sox Surprise: Division Leaders at Trade Deadline
After three straight 100-loss seasons, Chicago leads the AL Central by 1.5 games and holds the eighth-best run differential in baseball.
The White Sox posted 101, 121, and 102 losses in 2023-25 but have defied expectations in 2026, sitting first in the AL Central with a 54-47 record. Their +44 run differential ranks eighth in MLB. Some warning signs exist, including a 23-30 road record and an 18-24 mark against winning teams. As of July 24, Chicago would earn a first-round bye if the playoffs started today, making their trade deadline posture a key storyline.
