Undoubtedly, Coffey is capable of making the leap the the majors in 2025 — in fact, as quickly as breaking camp, provided his Cactus League is a solid one. It’s been an improbable, but heartening run for this “outsider” closer drafted seemingly as much for his third-base bat as his high-leverage arm.

There’s a lot of upside in the White Sox’s No. 21 prospect, Aldrín Batista. His impressive 9.63 K/9 and 2.73 ERA over a brief minors career makes him one of the more interesting young arms in the system.

By Charlotte standards, 2024 was a resounding success. While the overall record was still subpar at 68-79, contextually the Knights may well have won a World Series.

Congrats to Eric for a great season. He will be one to watch as he continues to progress through an organization who desperately could benefit from a reloaded bullpen.

They ultimately finished fourth overall for the season, with a 72-66 record and +62 run differential. In grand fashion, the season was capped off by a clutch playoff run that ended with the Barons winning the championship on a walk-off single from DJ Gladney.

Congratulations to Thorpe on his successful season. He was one of the key pieces from the Dylan Cease trade, and so far, he has been living up to the large amount of hype. Thorpe has shown that he deserves a spot in the 2025 starting rotation.

Congratulations to Brooks Baldwin on a great season! It will be exciting to see how he can continue to evolve as a player to hopefully contribute success on both sides of the ball.

There are not a ton of reasons for hope in the near future for the White Sox, but Schultz is certainly one of them. Well done to him on his excellent season.

In a year full of lowlights all over the organization, catcher Edgar Quero was a diamond in the rough.
