A 121-loss season and a playoff berth don’t usually belong to the same roster — and in the White Sox’s case, they mostly don’t.
Who’s still on the team from 2024?
Just two players: Andrew Benintendi and Miguel Vargas. Everyone else from that 121-loss 2024 roster is gone from the current team, according to MLB.com.
How big a turnover is that?
Keeping only two players from a full roster is close to a total rebuild in the span of a couple of seasons. The reporting doesn’t break down exactly how many players were traded, released, or signed to make up the difference — just that Benintendi and Vargas are the only holdovers.
The roster kept moving even this season
Turnover wasn’t limited to the offseason shakeup, either. Jacob Gonzalez, for instance, delivered a walk-off hit against the Royals on June 27 before being traded to the Pirates — a reminder that the roster kept changing during this playoff run itself, not just between 2024 and now.
What’s not confirmed
Specific trade details, contract moves, or a full list of who left and who arrived aren’t part of the available reporting. For a full roster breakdown, the team’s official site is the place to check.
