Despite a 19-game improvement, the 2025 White Sox had their fair share of issues, and the bullpen sticks out as one of their worst areas. As the season dragged on, those cracks never really sealed. Instead, they widened, and the bullpen became an area of little trust for manager Will Venable, even costing the team a few wins. Though the roster is ever changing, it's worth looking back at last season.

Peppered into the 2025 season were a few bad losing streaks. Early April and early May brought bullpen instability due to the starting rotation failing to find longevity in situations when the team needed it most.
