The Chicago White Sox have matched the modern Major League Baseball record for losses in a season, reaching 120 after a defeat against the San Diego Padres. This ties them with the infamous 1962 New York Mets, who also lost 120 games during their expansion year.

The Sox have struggled tremendously this season, leading in lists no team aspires to be associated with, including most shutouts and blown saves. Managerial changes and high player turnover haven't turned the tide of this historic failure.
