By SwingCompleto / contacto@swingcompleto.com

After an irregular passage through the Mexican summer ball, the well-known habanero slugger Lisban Correa He was able to negotiate a new contract this winter that will keep him active for one more time in professional baseball.

The fourth bat of the Industriales and participant in the last first level national team signed an agreement with the Astronauts, one of the emblematic clubs of the rented league of Panama (the Probeis), according to the enthusiastic Joan Carlos González, leader of the Facebook site “Por la Goma”.

It is pertinent to note that this club recently changed province, as they will now reside in Los Santos after winning the title of the last season playing in Chiriquí. In this site two teams played until the previous edition of the Probeis, counting the Federals.

At their new home in the Roberto El Flaco stadium, Blaca Hernández also released a new logo to face the new season.

Probeis announced weeks ago that the winter tournament would start in December following all the protocols of the Ministry of Health. The winner will have the right to represent Panama in the Mazatlán Caribbean Series, as happened in 2021 precisely with the club that Correa arrives.

The canal contest has been an escape route for many Cubans who have not found a space in the main Caribbean circuits in this winter stage, such as Mexico, Venezuela and the Dominican Republic. In none of those leagues did “Billy” have a definitive possibility and it was then that Panama appeared as the real option that had just materialized, which although it is not economically and sportily superior to some leagues in the area, gives him the option of having a job and with a good performance, it will once again be the interest of professional clubs in other countries beyond winter despite approaching the danger zone in terms of age.

As happens in all competitions in the area, the contracts are not even for a whole season, but the salary is monthly and they are renewed or not after the payment of the month has been made. The same thing happens in the Mexican summer circuit, the main experience that Correa has faced in professional baseball.

Returning to Correa, it is still an uncertainty if they will allow him to play with Industriales in the next National Series after breaking his official link with the Cuban Federation of the discipline after being dismissed by the Olmecas de Tabasco.

The intentions you have stated Lisban It is indistinctly that he does not want to be separated from his team on the island, especially when the Lions are in a rather complex situation due to all the casualties they have suffered from one year to the next.

But the last word will be said by the Cuban baseball and sports authorities, because unlike other cases, the MVP of last season did not abandon any delegation. He simply decided to leave his agreement with the FCB after finishing his league commitment, or rather, after it was closed in Mexico.
