Last I heard, Almonte signed with the Newark Bears or some other indy minor league team.

Whatever happened to Danny Almonte? Funnything about the Dominicans is that they probably secretly have by far the oldest average age of any World Baseball Classic participant…hahahaa.

And if you’re going to use a fake name, you could at least pick something better than “Esmailyn”.

How about "Ricardo", in honor of the late Ricardo Montalban.
