ATL Journal-Constitution: Family, Angels star Guerrero try to contact Aybar (RR)

The Braves haven’t heard from [Willy Aybar] in a week, and he overslept Thursday and skipped a scheduled meeting with MLB officials in New York.

Willy’s agent, Luis Valdez, and older brother tried to persuade Aybar to travel to New York on Friday to meet with MLB officials, including a doctor who would evaluate him and determine a course for treatment. But he never showed up or called the MLB office Friday.

LA Times (RR):

Much like the Atlanta Braves, Angels infielder Erick Aybar has been unable to reach his older brother, Willy…

“I call every day, and he doesn’t pick up the phone,” Aybar said. “It’s weird, because I don’t know what’s going on. I feel bad for my mom. She’s crying every day. Willy won’t answer the phone for her too.” ... “Vladimir (Guerrero) called him, too, and he answers,” Erick Aybar said.

“I’ve never known Willy to have a drug or alcohol problem. In the Dominican Republic, he’s a different guy. I don’t know what’s going on with Willy.”
