It's time to look back on the month of August in the White Sox affiliate world and drill down into the stories of the season that are pushing toward their conclusions. Brett Ballantini welcomes Joe Resis in to chat about the four full-season clubs active for all of August, from top to bottom:

  • A rundown of all six teams in the system
  • Do the White Sox have an overt (or vested) interest in having their key starting arms sidestep Charlotte?
  • Would strong outfield play — using recent call-back Dominic Fletcher as the fulcrum — affect the decision of whether or not to pick up Luis Robert Jr.'s $20 million option for 2026 (Joe and Brett agree on the decision that should be made!)
  • A salute to the playoff-bound Birmingham Barons, plus special citations for the key figures in a second straight season of stellar starting pitching
  • A bit of a deep dive into Jeral Perez's season, and whether he's still on an accelerated pace to the majors
  • Who will ultimately have the greater impact in the majors, 2024 trade deadline pieces Miguel Vargas or Perez? (Again, Joe and Brett agree!)
  • Beyond All-Everything Caleb Bonemer, who is another intriguing name among the many middle infield prospects?
  • Congrats to Lucas Gordon for his call-up to Double-A, it is well-deserved
