shysocks Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Article speaks for itself. This was really fun to read. Bonus points to anybody who can figure out the Sox guy before reading it, I know I couldn't figure it out. http://grantland.com/features/mlb-transaction-trees/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) 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. Edited November 20, 2014 by GreenSox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
