Through social networks they have asked for support for former Cuban baseball player Rolando Meriño after his decision to recently emigrate to Miami.

From his Facebook profile, sports journalist Yasel Porto explained that Meriño, 52, previously lived in Malaga, Spain, but decided to go to the United States.

“Rolando Meriño seeks support. The stellar expelotero from Santiago contacted me and after talking with him for a while, I decided to make this post with his consent, ”Porto explained on the social network.

In addition, he announced that “the member of the two versions of La Aplanadora and member of the Cuba team on several occasions, decided to emigrate from Malaga, Spain to Miami but is trying to move professionally.”

For this reason, he asked “anyone who can and wants to help by looking for a job can write to me and I will connect them with the 52-year-old former player.”

He also clarified that “it doesn’t have to be a job directly linked to sports” and explained that “this has been a tough year for the family as their son Patrick was released by Tampa Bay and at the moment he is out of work. Although he has plenty of talent and youth”.

A few hours ago, Porto updated his status on the social network to report that Héctor Olivera Jr. “has been the first to reach Rolando Meriño. As soon as she found out what had come out about him, and in person she went to where he was to worry about him and see what is needed for his new life in the United States ”.

As well stated by sports journalist Olivera Jr. “he was an excellent baseball player but once again he has confirmed that he is as good or better as a friend than what he achieved in sports.”

“There are people who, with their defects, LIKE WE ALL HAVE THEM, often demonstrate their great human values,” Porto wrote.

Lastly, he wanted to clarify that “the stellar former receiver from Santiago is not asking for money or anything other than WORK at a stage in which he still does not have all the work permits. He has a home and health, thank God.”
