By José Alejandro Rodríguez Zas

Last November 6, in a note posted on this Full Swing website, we report on the current situation of the Industriales slugger, Lisbán Correa, a member of the last senior Cuba team that participated in the pre-Olympic tournament in America, qualifying for Tokyo 2020, who will not be with the Capital Blues in the upcoming baseball season Cuban.

The Lions first baseman, catcher and designated hitter, a benchmark with the wood at the ready in the last Series 60, after commanding several offensive departments such as home runs, RBIs, slugging and OPS, will be out of Series 61 that will begin in January Next, despite showing interest in doing so, the negotiations with the Cuban Baseball Federation (FCB) were unsuccessful.

As is known, Correa decided to stay in Mexico after ending his contract with the Olmecas de Tabasco of the Mexican League, which was covered by the FCB. The reasons that have transpired from said decision of “El Billy” are related to “maintaining his sporting form and due to an offer that the Cuban received to play in Mexican baseball from March until winter, which he lost due to obstacles imposed by the FCB itself “, specified the aforementioned note.

Precisely, on the issue of Lisbán Correa and other matters related to Series 61, the National Baseball Commissioner, Juan Reinaldo Pérez Pardo, offered statements to the radio station Radio Rebelde, according to reported the sports journalist of said medium, Guillermo Rodríguez

«(Correa) left our country with a contract with the Federation and did not comply with its capsules. When the institution called for him to return, he did not do so, the club was providing him with air tickets for his return and he discarded them, ”said the commissioner.

Obviously, in Cuban organizations there is no flexibility when making decisions in exceptional situations and they prefer to be radical than to open up to other horizons. In the specific case that concerns us, “one of the reasons why Correa and his wife wanted to stay in Aztec lands, in addition to the difficult epidemiological situation that plagued the island, was because they wanted to expand their family, but for this they needed several consultations doctors and Mexico gave them that possibility, “as explained in the aforementioned Complete Swing note.

The truth is that Cuban baseball lovers and fans of the Blues will miss out on enjoying Lisbán Correa in Series 61 and, in addition, another casualty will be added to the Cuba team, unless “El Billy” manages to convince otherwise. to the Cuban baseball authorities.
