Miami.– Only hours before his debut in the prestigious tournament in the Netherlands, the Cuban national team suffered a terrible loss when their main pitcher, the left-handed Aroldis Chapman, defected to pursue the dream of reaching the Major Leagues.

Chapman was a major arms Cubans in World Baseball Classic 2009. The escape of the pitcher 21 years and a line of 100 miles per hour was reported in Cubaencuentro.com.

The pitcher left the Cuban team in Rotterdam and supported by some partners will come on Thursday at Miami. "There will be a nest among the players to get the rights to represent Chapman, but I am sure that the boy already has representatives" said one source.

Another of Fidel's best defects for the MLB in the USA....if things are so good in Cuba, why does this happen time and again? U.S.A. baseball would have been dead long ago without the influx of TALENT from the Caribbean....and for that, I thank you!

Read BETRAYAL:Clinton, Castro & The Cuban Five for the truth of the Castro brothers.....

Look, I am Happy he defected. I am glad you thought of me first when you started posting at 9 in the morning. "Jesus" you have no life!!!!
But people leave their countries all the time, Dominicans left “exiled” do to Trujillo "A U.S. backed dictator". Others left do to Balaguer, and Cubans left do to Bastista another U.S. backed dictator.

What is your point, he left to make tons of money in the U.S., I hope a team will take him. He is a little old for Baseball recruit standards.
“I should know I have scouts in my family”
Big deal you’re trying to through this exile in my face, you forget that I have family that exiled DR as well. But unlike Cubans, we never had political asylum in the United States.
