On the latest episode of the FutureSox Podcast Ian Eskridge and James Fox welcomed Chris Welsh of The Prospect One Podcast and Fantasy Pros. Nobody watches more Arizona Fall League, Spring Training, Complex and Bridge League than The Welsh. You've probably seen his prospect videos on his profile at @IsItTheWelsh on X.com. He took some time to bestow some of his knowledge on us. He "sells" us the AFL and tells us what is unique about it, and how great of an experience it is.
The Welsh ran through a lot of the bigger prospects that are playing there this year before getting into the White Sox side of things and who he's been watching. He also runs through his thoughts on the bridge league in general before running through Sox prospects like Hagen Smith, Caleb Bonemer, Nick McLain and Javier Mogollon. Chris also gave his thoughts on George Wolkow, Noah Schultz and sleepers in the Sox system before closing out. A lot of great information to take in.

On the latest episode of the FutureSox Podcast Ian Eskridge and James Fox started with a look at the playoffs series that are currently underway, and noted a few ex-White Sox players that have been involved. They then transitioned to the recent rumor of Buck Showalter throwing his hat in the ring to manage the 2025 Southside club. Will the Sox go for another 65+ yo to helm the bench? They also go into who they think is the leading candidate at this particular moment.
They moved to the AFL preview and some talk on some of the guys that will represent the White Sox in Glendale before moving to the International Scouting situation. The White Sox have fired scouts in the Dominican, Venezuela, Mexico, and Panama. Looks like a complete restructuring of the scouting system as had been suggested. They finished up the episode with a quick run through of the recent MLB Trade Rumors suggested arbitration numbers and who they cut or keep.
A fun episode tonight with a lot of chat interaction.
