Reds outfielder Aristides Aquino in a contract dispute with Licey

Over the weekend Aristides Aquino was in his home country of the Domincan Republic and getting ready to begin play in the winter leagues with his team the Tigres del Licey. He was scheduled to begin playing this week – in what was likely to be the first winter in which he would see plenty of playing time in the league. That may no longer be the case.

Hector Gomez of z101 Sports in the Dominican Republic reports that Aristides Aquino’s debut, which was supposed to happen Tuesday, won’t be happening because he has not reached a salary agreement with Licey.
