Rebuilding White Sox focused on finishing 2025 strong, but how do they do that if wins don't come?

""We feel like every day that we've been together, starting in spring training, we've made positive steps in building our culture in the way that we hold each other accountable, the standards that we've set, and we get to continue to grow that every day," manager Will Venable said Saturday. "We get to protect that throughout the rest of the summer, and that's going to be something that's really important to us, finishing strong.""

""Maybe if the bottom line doesn't look great, these guys have had some really good individual seasons that they can finish strong and create momentum for themselves going into the offseason. "These guys have done such a good job this summer building that connective, cohesive group that goes out there and competes. For us to finish strong, we just have to continue to do that every day.""

The White Sox began the second half 10-4 but have gone 6-18 since, with fewer than 30 regular-season games remaining. The team is on pace for roughly 100 losses, a third straight season at that level, though that would be 21 fewer losses than last year. Manager Will Venable emphasizes improved culture, accountability, standards, and daily cohesion as the measures of finishing strong. Several players have had strong individual seasons that could create offseason momentum. Chris Getz's rebuild is a complete organizational overhaul, and behind-the-scenes progress may not produce an immediate competitive turnaround for 2026.
