The two sons of the prominent former Cuban baseball player Norberto González Miranda, from Cienfuegos, left the country to pursue their dream of reaching the Major Leagues.
According to specialized journalist Francys Romero, the children of Norberto, a former pitcher for the national team who became an Olympic, Pan American, and world champion, are already in the Dominican Republic.
This is about Andy González, 15 years old, who plays as a third baseman and catcher, and his brother Alex González, 18 years old, a right-handed pitcher.
"They will train at the Yuan Pino Academy in Santo Domingo. Both talents possess excellent skills to sign with an MLB organization," Romero noted on his Facebook.
At the end of May, it was reported that Ariel Pestano Jr., the son of the legendary Cuban catcher Ariel Pestano, requested to leave Cuban baseball to permanently leave the country.
Pestano Jr., a catcher like his father, and Leandro Turiño, 32 years old, both from the Villa Clara team, officially requested their release. This information was confirmed by Ramón Moré, the director of the Leopards team.
The departure of both players occurred during the National Series, and Pestano stated that he would remain on the team until the very last moment.
Pestano Jr., who made his National Series debut in 2018, would meet in the United States with his girlfriend, identified on Instagram as Mary Elizundia, who has been living in that country for some time and works as a model.
