The Chicago White Sox team of Major League Baseball (MLB) this week got rid of the contract of the Cuban pitching prospect, Norge Vera, son of the star former pitcher of the Cuba teams Norge Luis Vera.
According to a network report by sports journalist Francys Romero, the White Sox fired 23-year-old Cuban pitcher Norge Vera.
“Surprising news. Vera was around 95 MPH and pitched very well recently in the Arizona Complex League. He was the franchise’s number 5 prospect in 2022. I don’t think he will have problems finding another team,” the specialist said.
Romero added that the new White Sox management was constantly discarding players and signing prospects from the previous manager, suggesting that this could be one of the reasons for the dismissal.
In 2022, the young Cuban pitcher had been promoted to Class A+ of the White Sox, along with Nick Gallagher. The prospect was rising within the Major League system, although he had to recover from some injuries during his time on the “farms.”
Norge Vera signed with the White Sox at the age of 18, for a bonus of 1.5 million dollars, after deserting an event in New Jersey that pitted the Cuban team against an American collegiate team, the New Jersey Jackals, of the Canadian Independent League. A.M.
At the end of 2022, Norge and his father were reunited after several years in the United States, where the former pitcher for the Santiago de Cuba Avispas emigrated.
The young Cuban prospect Norge Carlos Vera was the one who showed on his social networks what his family’s reunion with his famous father, Norge Luis Vera, who had recently arrived in the United States, was like.
In the images the legendary Santiago native was seen with his wife and children. The young Cuban pitcher even joked, because he was already taller than his father.
“Thanks God for everything. This has been a very difficult year for me, but despite everything I stood firm despite the storm, because I am a warrior and the calm has arrived. I never thought I would end the year this way, with the people I love most in the world, my FAMILY,” Norge Carlos wrote on his Instagram.
