The Arizona League (AZL) White Sox is a member franchise of the Rookie-level Arizona League in American minor league baseball.[1][2] The AZL White Sox re-entered the league in {{baseball year|2014}} after an 11-year hiatus. They previously played from 1998 through 2002. Contemporary AZL White SoxAt the close of the {{baseball year|2013}} season, the parent Chicago White Sox announced their intention to sever their 19-year-long relationship with the Bristol White Sox of the Appalachian League, and relocate their second rookie-level affiliation with an Arizona League team operating from the team's spring training base at Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Arizona.[2] The return of the White Sox to the AZL was subject to the league's board of directors, but AZL president Bob Richmond said in October that he "didn't foresee any difficulties."[2] The AZL White Sox share the Camelback Ranch stadium with the Arizona League Dodgers, whose parent team, the Los Angeles Dodgers, also trains at the Glendale facility. The 2014 AZL White Sox finished tied for fourth overall in the circuit, with a 30–25 (.545) record,[3] and will return to the field in {{baseball year|2015}}. The Pittsburgh Pirates replaced the White Sox in Bristol, Virginia, and the Appalachian League as the new owners and operators of the Bristol Pirates.[4] Predecessor franchiseThe White Sox' previous entry in the Arizona League played at facilities in Tucson (1998–2000) and Phoenix (2001–02). The team formed after the parent team moved their spring training headquarters from Sarasota, Florida, to Tucson Electric Park after the 1997 season, in the process effectively transplanting their Rookie-level Gulf Coast League White Sox across the country to the Arizona League. The AZL White Sox compiled a record of 115–161 (.417) during their first incarnation, never posting a winning mark. The White Sox departed the Arizona League in 2003, affiliating with what is now the Great Falls Voyagers of the Pioneer League; in 2014, Great Falls will mark its 12th season as a White Sox farm club.
