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!

And Red Sox fan, Yorkshire Dave, chats to us about Bunts and Brawls and completes the alliteration bringing the Brewers into it. We're heading off in different directions shortly to watch both the London Series with the Phillies and the Mets and we'll see the Durham Bulls too host the Charlotte Knights who might have some good news for the White Sox coming up!

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.
