Fans react to Mexican team showing interest in Julio Urias amid uncertain MLB investigation: "They can have that loser"
In a surprising turn of events, the Mexican Baseball team, Tomateros de Culiacan, has shown interest in acquiring Julio Urias, the former Los Angeles Dodgers’ pitcher currently under investigation for a September 3 arrest involving domestic violence. As the MLB contemplates a significant suspension or possible ban, Urias might find a new home south of the border.
While the details of Urias’ leagal process unfold in the United States, Carlos Manrique, president of the Liga Mexicana del Pacifico (Mexico’s winter baseball league), emphasized the league’s stance against violence and the need to await the conclusion of Urias’ leagal matters. However, he did not rule out the possibility of the talented left-hander joining the Tomateros de Culiacan, stating:
"There’s always an option, there are always possibilities."
Urias, once a valuable asset for the Los Angeles Dodgers, faces an uncertain future in MLB, with his career with the team effectively over. The left-hander, known for his prowess on the mound, might be seeking a fresh start in Mexico as doors close on his return to the Dodgers and potentially any other MLB team.
"They can have that loser." - Reacted one Dodgers fan.
Julio Urias faces legal proceedings amid allegations of domestic violence.
The Mexican interest comes amidst a rough period for Urias, who remains on paid administrative leave while the league investigates the allegations against him. The Tomaterios de Culiacan could provide Urias with an opportunity to revive his career and redeem himself in the eyes of baseball fans.
"He’s not a pro." - Added another fan.
As the baseball community watches Urias’ leagal proceedings closely, the potential move to the Liga Mexicana del Pacifico adds a new dimension to the left-hander’s narrative. Whether Urias chooses to embrace this opportunity and the league allows his incorporation will depend on the resolution of his legal challenges and the decisions of both parties involved.
In the meantime, Tomateros de Culiacan stands as a potential destination for Julio Urias, offering a chance at redemption and a fresh start in the world of Mexican baseball.
