Given the nickname "Big Baby" by his uncle due to his resemblence to Hall of Famer David "Big Papi" Ortiz, Eloy Jimenez was considered the best international free agent in 2013 by MLB.com. After being traded to the White Sox alongside future Dash player Dylan Cease, Jimenez made Chicago's Opening Day roster in 2019; signing a deal that was the richest contract ever for a player with zero service time before his MLB debut.
