MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — Miami Marlins shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria will return to the stand for a second day of testimony in the federal trial of a sports agent and a baseball trainer accused of smuggling players out of Cuba.
Hechavarria is scheduled Tuesday to be cross-examined by attorneys for agent Bartolo Hernandez and trainer Julio Estrada. His testimony comes as Marlins spring training is in full swing.
Prosecutors say Hernandez and Estrada illegally brought players like Hechavarria out of communist Cuba to sign lucrative Major League Baseball contracts using a speedboat smuggling network and faked documents.
