The White Sox were swept at the hands of the Cleveland Guardians last weekend, which marked the final games of the season against AL Central opponents. Despite Chicago's final record likely improving by nearly 20 games from 2024, the White Sox still struggled mightily against the AL Central this year. The team finished just 18-34 against their own division, leaving an obvious area for the 2026 White Sox to improve. An 18-34 record this season was actually a significant improvement over 2024, when the White Sox went just 10-42 against divisional opponents. It should be no surprise that teams like Kansas City and Cleveland beat up on the White Sox.
