Third Cuban player presumed defected

Or as Dr. Luis Molina’s wife once said…“What a dump!”

Another Cuban baseball player has gone missing from a junior baseball tournament in Edmonton.

Tournament officials tell CTV News the Cuban team only dressed 15 out of 18 of it total players Sunday for its bronze medal game.

Pitcher Raydel Sanchez was one of the missing names on the roster Sunday, along with two other confirmed missing team members Noel Argueilles and Jose Iglesias.

This brings the total number of Cuban players expected to have defected to three.

A Cuban team interpreter would not confirm to CTV News whether Sanchez was missing. He would only say he was scheduled to be the starting pitcher Sunday.

Sanchez never appeared on the field or threw a single pitch.

Ok, scouting report time? and for the benefit of the Royals staff, where in the Dominican will Raydal be claiming residence?

Obviously bought by the United States with its mercenary money.

From what I've read on the baseball-fever board, Dayan Viciedo is probably the top FA defector right now.

The title of this post could have been used in my Logic 101 class.
