Robinson Canó will return to LIDOM in search of redemption

The confirmation of the participation of the second baseman in the next LIDOM tournament, is given after his second suspension in MLB baseball

Robinson Cano will be playing with Eastern Stars in the next tournament of the Dominican Republic Professional Baseball League (LIDOM), or so is expected. In the words of the player himself, who could not play the 2021 season after his second suspension for testing positive for performance-enhancing substances and the Dominican team itself, the chances that the star of New York Mets play winter ball are elevated.

“I have spoken with Robinson (Canó) and with the president of the Mets, Sandy Alderson, who has told us that they want him to play with the Stars between second and third position,” said the manager of the Mets. Stars, Felix peguero, in a meeting with the media. However, he also indicated that the number of games he will play this season has not been established.

This will not be the first time that the San Pedro de Macorís midfielder dons his team’s uniform, as he has played in ten different seasons (and different stages) with the team. However, if he becomes uniform with the Stars it will be the first time he has done so after a suspension.

The first suspension of Robinson Cano in the Big leagues It occurred during 2018. At that time he lost 80 games and although many thought he would return to the Dominican winter ball, he did not do it, until two years later, for the last postseason LIDOM.

On this occasion and after missing the whole year of MLB, Spout you should see your time in LIDOM as a platform for your preparation within what will be a season in which all eyes will be on you, judging every action you do, be it with New York Mets or with another team (if they decide to change it or release it).

Hopes that Spout can reach Cooperstown are void and you will not be able to enter the Dominican Sports Hall of Fame, as the president of that entity said recently, so the only thing left to the player is to try to close his career in the best possible way.

Meanwhile, the Dominican public has high chances of enjoying watching the game of the player, who has respectable numbers in the winter ball.

In 190 games (regular series and postseason), Robinson Cano He has a .287 batting average with a .353 on-base percentage (OBP) and a .439 slugging percentage (SLG), good for a .792 OPS. He has hit 12 home runs and drove in 94 laps, while he has scored 86 times, all with the Eastern Stars.
