DUNEDIN, FLA. - Blue Jays reliever Roberto Osuna spent the off season resting his elbow and shoulder, working on pitches, spending time with his family and, oh yeah, listening to one of the biggest police busts in history go down.
In the early hours of Jan. 8 in the coastal city of Los Mochis, units from the Mexican Navy’s Special Forces raided a house where Sinaloa Cartel drug lord Joaquin Guzman, aka El Chapo, was hiding. Guzman actually got away through a secret tunnel during the raid but was captured soon after by the Federal Police.
“I was 3 1/2 blocks away,” said Osuna on Tuesday, following a workout at Florida Auto Exchange Stadium.
