Chicago White Sox Projected to Win Fewer Games Than 2020 Teams
2023 Outlook Not as Bright as 2022
In 2022, the Chicago White Sox missed the playoffs, finishing with a record of 81-81. Heading into the 2023 season, several projections have the team winning fewer games than they did last year, predicting another disappointing season for the South Siders.
Reasons for the Downturn
- Regression in key areas, such as defense and starting pitching
- A lack of significant upgrades to the roster
- Tougher competition in the AL Central
The White Sox have made some additions to their roster this offseason, but they have also lost some key players, such as Jose Abreu and Liam Hendriks. The team's starting pitching staff is also a concern, as Lucas Giolito and Dylan Cease have both struggled with consistency in recent years.
In the AL Central, the White Sox will face tough competition from the Minnesota Twins, Cleveland Guardians, and Detroit Tigers. All three of those teams have made significant improvements to their rosters this offseason, and they will be looking to challenge the White Sox for the division title.
What Can the White Sox Do to Improve?
- Improve their defense, which was one of the worst in the league last season
- Get more consistent performances from their starting pitchers
- Add some more depth to their roster
The White Sox have a lot of work to do if they want to improve their chances of making the playoffs in 2023. They will need to make some adjustments to their roster and improve their performance on the field. If they can do that, they have the potential to be a competitive team. However, if they don't make some changes, they could be in for another long season.
