When Vinny Capra pinch-ran for Andrew Vaughn in the bottom of the ninth inning during Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Seattle Mariners, he became the 44th player the White Sox have used in the 2025 season.
Mind you, we're only 50 games in. On average, we're seeing a new player appear almost every game. If you're at the ballpark or sitting on the couch watching this team, it's fair if you're asking, "Who the hell are these guys?"
The team record is 63 players used, set last year in the miserable 121-loss campaign. Even if the Sox don't lose that many games again, they appear poised to blow by that record for players used.
It speaks to the instability in the organization. The Sox are looking for answers and not finding many, so the roster churn continues, and I don't expect that to stop anytime soon.
The Sox are 15-35 through their first 50 games. That's the same exact record they had through 50 games in 2024.
Of course, last year's club was stuck on 15 wins for about two weeks. They won their 49th game to improve to 15-34, then lost 14 straight. At one point, they were 15-48, finally collecting their 16th win in Game 64.
So, if the Sox can manage a couple wins here and there over the next couple of weeks, they will finally be ahead of last year's pace. Wouldn't that be nice?
