I got the answer correct, but it was just a lucky guess. Those are fun.

 

Ha, so did I. Given how he was acquired, I figured there were some other transactions preceding that one that went further back in time. I didn't actually try to trace them all, he just seemed like a good guess.

 

White Sox figured prominently in two other franchises lineage.

Cool article

I will point out that had this been written 3 months ago, the Sox longest tree would be a mundane Mike Cameron---->Paul Konerko.

 

I wonder what the longest tree in the major is, including crossing teams.

 

That was actually my guess before thinking about Konerko being retired.

Frankly, it's amazing to think that those two were traded for each other and then went on to have the careers they did, because they both had really good and really long careers.
