Miguel Gonzalez expects more than 100 friends and family to be in attendance when he pitches for Team Mexico in the World Baseball Classic this month.
Jose Quintana has family members ask him every day how he’s feeling in preparation for his start with Team Colombia on Friday.
The starting pitchers have spent the last three weeks preparing for their White Sox seasons at Camelback Ranch, but they feel quite a bit of pride about temporarily exchanging their jerseys for those of their home countries, starting this week.
Gonzalez and Quintana each threw simulated games Friday as their last official Sox sessions before heading out to the WBC in Mexico and Miami, respectively.
