Hey everybody, it's Chuck Arfine.

This is the White Sox talk podcast.

Thanks so much for listening.

And yeah, the present is currently not good with the White Sox.

Yeah, the record.

Not good at all.

So today, we're not going to talk about the present.

We're going to look into the future.

And when it comes to Drew Thorpe, maybe the near future on the South Side.

I speak with the top prospect the White Sox received in the Dillon's cease trade.

Drew has been essentially unhittable in his first four starts at AA Birmingham.

He's only given up two runs in 24 innings.

And last year in his first season in the minors with the Yankees, he was named the pitching prospect of the year.

Not just in the Yankees organization, but in the entire minor leagues by M-I-L-B.com.

He has since been traded twice to the Padres in the Juans Soto trade, and yet to the White Sox in the package for Dylan C.

So what's it like to be traded twice in three months?

Reuniting with a former White Sox closer who is now manager, his manager in Birmingham.

We also talk about his devastating changeup and how close he thinks he is to the major leagues.

But first, I'm going to talk about his team and his teammates on the Birmingham Barons,

who are giving me hope in what has been a very bleak start to the season for the White Sox.

I'm doing what I can to help you and your White Sox spirit.

That and more.
