Summary
It should go without saying that the 2021 minor league season was not what the Sox’s farm system needed. 3 out of their 4 main teams finished last in their respective divisions, and none made the playoffs. However, minor league baseball is still fun regardless, and the individual prospects are still looking solid. The White Sox added future star Yoelqui Cespedes and drafted Colson Montgomery. To sum it all up, we’ll see you next year in the Sox’s farm system!
