Andy Pagés Steps Back From Team Cuba Amid Cuban-American Selection Dispute

Reports reveal Pagés asked Team Cuba to withdraw from March’s WBC after Cuban-Americans were omitted from its preliminary roster. “My dad wanted to see me play for Cuba,” he said in May. However, Cuban Baseball Digest reported federation sources wanted U.S.-born Cubans and the country’s leadership said “NO.” Cuba was the WBC runner-up in 2006.
