The Cuban national baseball team lost to the United States 14–2 in the World Baseball Classic semifinals Sunday night in Miami. But that's not all it lost.
Bullpen catcher Iván Prieto didn't join his teammates as they flew back to the communist island on Monday, staying in Miami, reported Pelota Cubana, which broke the story. The details of his whereabouts—and whether he was picked up by family members at his hotel, as some have speculated—remain unclear. The Miami Herald reported that Prieto simply "didn't show up at Miami International Airport for the team's flight to Havana."
