Cuba tosses two stars off of its national team
2008-11-21 19:53
by Bob Timmermann

Pitcher Yadel Marti and outfielder Yasser Gomez were thrown off the Cuban national baseball team for "a grave act of indiscipline." In other words, both players tried to defect.

Cuba's World Baseball Classic team will now be without one of its best pitchers (Marti gave up no earned runs in 12 2/3 IP). Gomez and Marti were both left off the Olympic team for Cuba as well, although there was no announcement why at the time.

Defecting from Cuba while in Beijing seems pretty low risk.
