New Meat from Cuba

Fidel Castro just sent our Christmas present.

SANTO DOMINGO (Reuters) - The top slugger of Cuba's last baseball season, Alexei Ramirez, said on Thursday he has defected in the Dominican Republic to
fulfill his dream of playing in the Major Leagues.

The 25-year-old right-handed hitter, who plays outfield and second base and helped Cuba win the gold medal in the Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro in July, adds to a list of athletes who have defected from Communist-run Cuba in recent years.

COME ON, STUBBY. SIGN HIM.
