One of these things truly is not like the other, as for the first season in ages the White Sox are fielding a competitive slate of affiliates, including two first-place and playoff-bound clubs. The exception, as you might have figured, is the Charlotte Knights, struggling to fill out a pitching rotation and to get some wins under them. Our guy in Charlotte, Jonathan Lee, is here with us to talk about some key Knights figures ... look a bit into the future: The team is about what was expected, arguably (based on past seasons, at least) better than hoped Bryan Ramos skipped Charlotte on his way up to the majors, and now is rehabbing/reloading with the Knights. Jonathan and Brett chat on what Bryan brings to the table beyond his enormous talent Colson Montgomery is continuing to struggle between jaw-dropping flashes. He's young, and struggle is to be expected — but Jonathan has caught something in Montgomery's self-awareness that could prove valuable as he moves toward the majors Sean Burke's lower-level rehab was completed and he's flashed some “old Burke” since arriving in Charlotte Literally as the pair were discussing Birmingham's rotation and what Drew Thorpe has to prove in Double-A, first word was breaking that Thorpe would be promoted to the White Sox for a Tuesday start Philosophical discussion on the nature of Triple-A and how often Double-A Barons might outright skip Charlotte, as we're seeing with Ramos, Duke Ellis, and Thorpe The value of a core of guys playing together at each step up toward the majors Estimated dates for when we might start to see the rich Birmingham talent move east to Charlotte, possibly to create a very different Knights roster in the second half!

It's an early check-in with our friend and Charlotte mainstay Jonathan Lee on all things Knights, including intriguing bats and the predictable breakdown of the Triple-A rotation: Jonathan's take on the 8-12 Charlotte start: .400 ball, he'll take it! Danny Mendick's amazing power stroke that forced him back onto the White Sox active roster Conversely, the jerking around of Lenyn Sosa and Oscar Colás, never truly able to settle in a spot or role Colson Montgomery's bat has been flaccid, but his shortstop defense stout. Wasn't it supposed to be the other way around? Carlos Pérez, Chuckie Robinson, and the curious catching conundrum with the Knights until Edgar Quero arrives A rotation in shambles, but with brighter days (returns from injury, promotions from Birmingham) ahead Justin Jirschele: Next White Sox manager?

[5:26] Hello, Brett Phillips. Why are White Sox fans fearful that Phillips will be the Opening Day starting right fielder? [20:05] Hello, Chad Kuhl. While his fastballs are getting awful results, Kuhl can help the Charlotte Knights with pitching depth that they didn't have last year. Or, because of his above average slider, could the White Sox help Kuhl transform into a reliever? [30:51] Josh and Jim discuss Joel Sherman's column in the New York Post about the New York Yankees pursuit of starting pitching, and what Sherman is hearing about the White Sox asking price for Dylan Cease.

Record Date: 8/21/2023 Rundown: Josh is back from vacation, and Jim shares what he missed Crain's Business Journal reports that Jerry Reinsdorf has begun exploring a new stadium for the White Sox and is trying to leverage Nashville as a possible move. Jim, the resident Nashville expert, shares why that threat of a move doesn't make sense. However, is it possible for the White Sox to move away from 35th and Shields? Thanks to Bridgeport's changing demographics and Chicago politics, Josh shares why that's a topic we'll be debating for the next three to four years. We know Rick Hahn's contract status and why it's more of a reason to move on from him after this season.
