"It's going to be a little bit different,
understanding what has transpired here overall the last couple
of years," Boyer told reporters Wednesday night. "There's a
price reduction."
The White Sox, who have a day off Thursday, are 29-92. They are
threatening to eclipse the 1962 expansion New York Mets for the
most losses ever. Those Mets finished 40-120 and the White Sox
are on pace to lose 124 games.
Chicago was a playoff team in 2020 and 2021. They finished .500
in 2022 and lost 101 games in 2023, Pedro Grifol's first season
as manager.
The White Sox fired Grifol earlier this month and replaced him
with coach Grady Sizemore on an interim basis.
Chicago has a promising farm system, but it is likely to be a
few years before the White Sox will consider signing big-name
free agents with the expectation of making another postseason
run.
Invoices for next season were sent out on Thursday, with the
first payment for season tickets due Sept. 30.
"There hasn't been many seasons like this. And when you look at
kind of the rolling two years of what's been going on, it made
sense to us. Looking at the analytics around this, it absolutely
makes sense to lower the prices," Boyer said.
He continued:
"We understand where all the ticket prices are, whether it's
season ticket prices, secondary market, with everything that is
going on. After looking at that, understanding where we are
organizationally, we thought it was important that it's
something we do for our season-ticket holders who have been very
loyal to us."
