Good morning!
With Marco Paddy gone from the organization, it should be interesting to see how (or if) the White Sox move on from their signing of players from Cuba. As Jim noted in the piece linked above, for every signing which worked out, there was a Norge Vera, Yolbert Sánchez, or Yoelqui Céspedes who did not.
Still, the White Sox have a pretty rich history of Cuban-born players donning a White Sox uniform, which is what today's Sporcle will test you on. In all, 26 separate Cuban-born players have played with the White Sox: how many can you name? Good luck!
