Four teams are independently owned, while two—the Arizona Complex League White Sox and Dominican Summer League White Sox—are owned by the major league club. The White Sox have been affiliated with the Double-A Birmingham Barons of the Southern League since 1986, making it the longest-running active affiliation in the organization among teams not owned by the White Sox. It is also the longest affiliation in the team's history. Their newest affiliate is the Single-A Kannapolis Cannon Ballers of the Carolina League, which became a White Sox' affiliate in 2001. Geographically, Chicago's closest domestic affiliate is the High-A Winston-Salem Dash of the South Atlantic League, which is approximately 560 miles (900 km) away. Chicago's furthest domestic affiliate is the Arizona Complex League White Sox of the Rookie League Arizona Complex League some 1,459 miles (2,348 km) away. (en)
