The rumor that had set the social media on fire finally had official confirmation: the National Baseball Directorate is working to reinsert into the Cuba team a large group of players who play in Asian and Caribbean leagues, according to the statements of one of its managers to the Bola Viva TV program.

The Cuban National Series could start in September

While in Cuba the fans are still waiting for a possible start date for the 60th National Baseball Series, the World Baseball and Softball Confederation (WBSC) recently released a list of health and operational recommendations for the safe return of their activities.

The National Baseball Directorate officially announced the list of 116 Cuban baseball talents, and in Las Tunas all alarms should immediately jump as only three Leñadores (Lumberjacks) appear on the roll that is already part of the country's Training Center for the 2020-2024 period.

Possible alternatives for the competition format of the 60th Baseball Series are being analyzed

The attractive idea of a National Series with up to 125 games for elite teams has been put on hold for at least a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so the debate now revolves around possible alternatives.
