The Chicago White Sox enter the 2025 season following a disastrous previous year, deemed the worst in modern MLB history. Despite offseason moves, expectations remain low. MLB The Show 25 unveiled player ratings, revealing that center fielder Luis Robert Jr. leads the team at 77, marking him as the lowest-rated top player across MLB teams. Relief pitcher Penn Murfee follows with a 75, while a cluster of players, including Davis Martin and Mike Tauchman, hover at 73. Notably, Andrew Vaughn and Andrew Benintendi are absent from the ratings due to injury and performance issues, respectively.

The Sox's lack of standout players is evident when compared to teams like the Miami Marlins and Colorado Rockies, who have more players rated above 76. With fewer elite players, the White Sox face an uphill battle in a competitive league.
