Sox Pop on the Farm Podcast 50 — 2024 Kannapolis Cannon Ballers Season Preview — 2024-04-05

Sox Populi - A Chicago White Sox podcast

Unfortunately we ended up skipping Winston-Salem on the podcast dial, forever creating a phantom Podcast 49, but now it’s time for a look at the Low-A Kannapolis Cannon Ballers. Brett Ballantini welcomes in play-by-play broadcaster and Kanny jack-of-all-trades Dan Helotie in to talk about stars past and future, as well as the beautiful and still pretty-new ballpark there:

• Our 2023 review notes ... you may want to be sitting down for this ... there was a White Sox affiliate with a winning record ... the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers!
• Sure, let’s start with a player NOT on the Cannon Ballers any longer, Noah Schultz
• And one more, Colson Montgomery!
• Chat of a few players who will be with the CBs on Opening Day or soon thereafter: Ryan Burrowes, Ronny Hernandez and George Wolkow
• And one more might not be: Eddie Park
• The curious case of player-turned-bench coach, Daniel Millwee, and what he brings to the roster under manager Pat Leyland
• Gorgeous Atrium Health Ballpark, now in its fourth year, including the robust build-up in downtown Kannapolis
• Interests and promotions for the new season
