Minor League Baseball wrapped up its first half, and the White Sox organization didn't claim any postseason spots. Here's where they ended up with (nearly) three months in the books before the slates are wiped clean for the second half.
Charlotte Knights: Fifth in the International League East at 35-40, which is respectable considering their IL-worst -103 run differential. Toledo was the next closest at -74.
Birminmgham Barons: Finished last in the Southern League at 25-44, which isn't the worst record in MiLB, but they do have the worst run differential in the minors at -131.
Winston-Salem Dash: Lost a sizable division lead to finish at 34-29, a half-game behind first-half winner Greenville (36-30).
Kannapolis Cannon Ballers: Finished tied for second in the Carolina League South at 35-40, four games behind Myrtle Beach.
