HIALEAH, Fla. --
A top Cuban baseball prospect is going public after defecting from the
island and settling in South Florida nearly a month ago.
Dayan Viciedo is a 19-year old third baseman. He spoke Monday in Hialeah
along with his agent, Jaime Torres. Torres said Viciedo has been
contacted by 14 different major league teams.
Torres also said he plans to petition for Viciedo to become an
unrestricted free agent.
Viciedo played with Villa Clara of the major leagues in Cuba. He is now
training in Miami in hopes of joining other successful Cuban baseball
players who have defected and signed with major league teams in the U.S.
