Plenty of impact major league players have come out of Cuba in recent years, with Jose Abreu, Yasiel Puig, Yoenis Cespedes, and Aroldis Chapman ranking among the most notable. Unsurprisingly, no player who even comes close to meeting that description signed with the Tampa Bay Rays. Their most notable signing out of Cuba in recent years was Leslie Anderson, who they paid $3.75 million on a four-year deal in 2010 but was never deemed worthy of a single big league game.
