The short-season leagues lived up to their billing on Tuesday, because their seasons came to a close.
The Arizona Complex League White Sox finished their season 21-35, last place in the ACL West and the second-worst record overall. The Dominican Summer League White Sox were far stronger as a unit, finishing 32-22 with a run differential of +46, but it wasn't good enough to make the DSL postseason.
We'll have reviews of their seasons after everything else dies down.
