It's great to be the #1 destination for every potential star coming out of Cuba

Sox have always been good at getting the Cubans. They like us for some reason.

Jose Abreu is the best recruiting tool you can ask for. The Cards offered Robert more money, but he signed with the Sox because of Abreu.

They have such a big pool of potential RF in house you would think one would emerge by next year.

Cespedes is going to be the starting RF next year. That's why I'm glad they just gave a 1 year to Eaton rather than a multi-year to someone else.

I don't think people have really caught on yet that the Sox signed the #1 international prospect just a few months ago and he's about 1 year from being MLB ready.

I haven't caught on yet because he's ranked 6th in the organization. Hey, I'm all in for going all in, like Vaughn, but I got to see some data. I gotta see some swings.

They absolutely should try and play a three of four game "home" series in Havana each year.

I like that. Cuban govt won't like that, I suspect.

Politically, if done correctly, something like that would benefit all parties involved.

Any other teams than the White Sox, maybe.

A Cuban communist and a Jew working together, what could go wrong?

Didn't MLB play a game in Cuba under the Obama administration? If so, I'd expect to happen under a Harris presidency.
