White Sox Struggles Come From an Unexpected Place

Ask any Chicago White Sox fan, or even an outsider with surface-level knowledge of the team, and they'll point to the pitching staff as the team's biggest concern in 2026. There's good reason for that.

While the White Sox rank sixth in Major League Baseball in runs scored, the team's 4.16 ERA is right around league average. The real issue lies in the starting rotation, where Chicago lacks reliable arms who can pitch deep into games and preserve the bullpen.
