January 3, 20251 yr Looks like he is an 18 YO Cuban 3b and ranked #33 in MLBs top 50 international prospects.

January 3, 20251 yr 2 hours ago, Chicago White Sox said: I’m not following here. We signed him when he was very young, he started his career in DSL, he made it to the White Sox, he stayed in MLB for several years..... he's probably the best player Sox ever signed who came up that way.

Oh you’re talking about Yolmer. Did Ordonez or Lee come up that way?

January 4, 20251 yr Fun, or sad, fact. The White Sox have had the #1 international prospect in a signing class join the organization, MULTIPLE TIMES. MLB Pipeline rankings go back to 2012... 2013: Eloy Jimenez (Adolfo #2, Gleyber #3, Devers #6) 2016: Luis Robert 2019: Yoelqui Cespedes (Jasson Dominguez #2, Norge Vera #5) 2020/2021: Yoelqui Cespedes In 2022 we didn't have the #1 guy, but we have the #4 guy (William Bergola) and the #5 Oscar Colas.

I think you're talking about Yolmer Sanchez, and he's Venezuelan. Yolbert Sanchez was Cuban. We got him away from a commitment to Baltimore. Yolbert was older, and more "polished". EDIT: nevermind.
