# 2025 Chicago White Sox season

The 2025 Chicago White Sox season will be the club's 126th season in Chicago, their 125th in the American League and their 35th at Rate Field. It will be their first year under new manager Will Venable. They will be looking to improve on their historically bad 2024 season, in which they set a record for most losses in a single season in the modern era.

## Offseason
### Manager

After starting their 2024 season with a 28–89 record and having recently tied an AL record with a 21-game losing streak, manager Pedro Grifol and parts of his staff were fired by the team on August 8. The White Sox appointed baserunning coach Grady Sizemore as interim manager, under whom the team was slightly better as they went 13–32 to finish the season and won 5 of their final 6 games, though they finished with an MLB worst 41–121 and set the league record for losses in a single season. On October 31, 2024, White Sox hired Texas Rangers associate manager Will Venable as their 44th manager. Venable was a former MLB outfielder who played for 9 seasons with the San Diego Padres, Texas Rangers, and Los Angeles Dodgers. Prior to joining the Rangers coaching staff under Bruce Bochy and winning the 2023 World Series, he served as a first and third base coach for the Chicago Cubs from 2018–2020 and the bench coach for the Boston Red Sox in 2021 and 2022.

### Media

This will be the first season that White Sox games will be aired on the newly-established Chicago Sports Network, which directly replaced the team's regional network NBC Sports Chicago effective October 1, 2024.

### Ballpark

The name of the White Sox ballpark was changed to Rate Field on December 17, 2024, having previously been named Guaranteed Rate Field since late 2016. This was done in accordance to the park's title sponsor Rate shortening their name from Guaranteed Rate earlier in 2024.
