Three "Lions" will not be in the jungle - Vanguardia

The news began to arrive from the capital last week and with much more force on Friday, when in a meeting with the sports press of the main city of the country, the beginning of a renewal process within the blue team for the National Series number 61 was announced. .

The decision excludes catcher Frank Camilo Morejón and outfielder Yoandry Urgellés from the Lions, among other players who are still being evaluated and their names will be announced later.

As the journalist Boris Luis Cabrera wrote, the deputy director of sports activities in Havana, Raúl Reyes Santiesteban, declared: «Based on the sports result of the last National Series and the assessments that have been made, it was decided to create a group of work made up of directors from the province and the Industrial team, as well as sports glories, and after several sessions of analysis and in-depth assessment, taking into account the results of the team, it was unanimously decided that a gradual renewal was needed within the set".

The third case was that of Captain Stayler Hernández. In this regard, it was said that it was his personal decision to request his release, which was accepted on that day.

Both Frank Camilo and Yoandry Urgellés and Stayler Hernández have been emblematic players of the cast of the capital during these years, the three have integrated the national team on several occasions. The most discussed case and the one that has not totally convinced the followers of the blues has been that of the masked Morejón.

For now, Walter Pacheco, who performed well with the Villa Clara squad in recent seasons, and Javier Camero, a member of the Matanzas Crocodiles squad, who won the championship in the 2019-2020 contest, will return to the capital.

Industriales, top winner of the Cuban baseball classics, has not been able to take over a crown since the 2009-2010 version, when they won the title in a final that seemed to be orange.
