Chicago (32-43) felt it was capable of challenging for the AL Central title this year, but it's last in the division, ranks near bottom of the majors with 277 runs and close to the top with 55 errors.
"Each night it's something different. It's definitely frustrating," pitcher John Danks told the White Sox's official website.
"We're way too talented to be where we are right now."
An Internet report surfaced Thursday stating the White Sox will make everybody other than ace Chris Sale and veteran Paul Konerko available for potential trades.
Chicago managed four hits and shortstop Alexei Ramirez committed his AL-leading 13th error to contribute to the New York Mets scoring all their runs in the fifth inning of Wednesday's 3-0 loss. The White Sox were shut out for the seventh time, and fourth during the stretch where they've dropped 19 of 27.
"Listless offense," manager Robin Ventura said. "I don't know the reason for it, but it can't happen.
"It's just unacceptable. You've got to put something on the board."
Outfielder Alex Rios could be a serious trade target, but he's batted .182 (8 for 44) with no homers in 12 games after hitting .356 in his previous 10. He's 3 for 19 against the Indians this season.
Chicago has dropped three of five this year to Cleveland (40-38), which is coming off a four-game split at Baltimore.
