José Pablo Cuesta from the capital has been the best Cuban player this season in the Italian league. Photo taken from his Facebook profile.
For some decades, baseball in Italy is where more Cubans participate among all the countries in Europe. With two very well organized divisions, Series A and B, several Antilleans continue their careers there and at the same time raise the level of those championships, fundamentally along with Dominicans and Venezuelans. For example, in 2023 more than 30 compatriots participate in the two main categories.
A few years ago, when the hiring of island players began in that nation, through the Cuban Federation of the discipline and the Inder, some friends asked me how much the athletes from the island were paid there. Yesterday Cubalite accessed a source close to bambina ball and this explained internal information that answers the previous question.
On condition of anonymity, he told us that more than a decade ago salaries were high, that is, more than 2,000 euros were paid, but nowadays it is not usual to find someone earning between 1,400 and 1,600.
He added that the vast majority of the clubs give the money and guarantee other very important things such as housing, transportation, fuel, food…, which allows the player to keep his salary almost entirely.
“I can mention the name of a small club, without many resources, but I won’t do it for ethical reasons. This organization pays its foreigners between 800 and 1000 euros. However, if you go to Parma Baseball, a more powerful society, you will find, for example, that the pitcher from Villa Clara Pablo Luis Guillén earns approximately 1,500 euros each month.
“Likewise, for games won they stimulate him, be it with money or otherwise. In general, the salary of Cubans in the elite league, Serie A, ranges between 800 and 1600 euros maximum. I’m talking about the Cubans with contracts for the Inder or those who are independently”, explained the source, a native of Italy and with more than 25 years linked to the tournaments of that European country.
