Sox Populi - A Chicago White Sox podcast

Sox Pop on the Farm 63 — July review, starring Shane Murphy! — 2025-08-05

Listen Later

Brett Ballantini, Joe Resis and Melissa Sage-Bollenbach gathered together to look back at the month of July in the White Sox farm system, with special attention paid to the surging Birmingham Barons. 

Topics? Yeah, we got 'em:

  • A rundown of all six teams in the system, spotlighting the likelihood that due to some "tiebreaker" shenanigans in the Arizona Complex League just one White Sox affiliate will make the postseason in 2025
  • Breaking down what has made Shane Murphy so special in 2025 ... yet still outside of the MLB Pipeline Top 30 for the club
  • And a related point, maybe pay more attention to an outlet like ours, ranking 100 prospects, than MLB and its oversights ... or anyone else, for that matter
  • How is Birmingham doing what they're doing?
  • Joe rescues his poor host before the break by remembering that possibly the best pitching in the entire system is NOT Shane Murphy ... but teammate Tanner McDougal. Apologies, Tanner
  • A dive into scary-close to .500 Charlotte, a photo negative of Birmingham with massive mashing and no arms. If manager Sergio Santos, with one title under his belt so far, has a secret ... what is it?
  • Joe reps the Dash, because no one else will
  • Christian Gonzalez, the extraordinary DSL youngster so good the White Sox gave him the unprecedented call-up to Arizona IN-SEASON
  • The sadness of seeing some blue-chip prospects stall out
  • A final quickie round, who is your favorite prospect in the White Sox system right now?
