Baseball, the best Cuban escapes to Miami airport before the Pre-Olympic

Second base Prieto escapes from the team upon arrival, sparking political controversy. On Monday, the tournament starts at 8 for Tokyo

An escape exiting the Miami airport before the team boarded the bus to the hotel, is creating a lot of controversy between the USA and Cuba: while the Caribbean national team arrives in Florida after a complicated authorization for the Olympic qualification of the American continent to start on Monday with Cuba -Venezuela, the best prospect deserted. This is the 22-year-old second baseman Cesar Prieto Echevarria, who has managed to suddenly disappear from the group of 41 people including managers, coaches and companions headed to Wes Palm Beach. The government accuses the US of having failed (a decision at the time of the Trump administration) the agreement with the Major Leagues to avoid the desertions of Cuban players attracted by the millionaire contracts of the Major Leagues. Florida’s anti-Castro and revolutionary community could create protests during the tournament. In 2009 he succeeded Aroldis Chapman, current closer of the Ney York Yankees, in 2022 to Josè Contrerars, taken by the Chicago WS. The 8-country tournament will qualify only one team for the 6-country tournament that will bring baseball back to the Olympics in Tokyo from 2008: there will be the USA, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Colombia and Canada. Whoever gets on the podium will be able to try the last pass in the supplementary tournament in Mexico at the end of June. Cuba boasts 3 Olympic golds and 2 silver medals.
