DeNA Signs Gourriel

by Patrick Newman (May 12, 2014)

According to multiple Media outlets out of Japan (such as Nikkan Sports) the Yokohama DeNA Baystars have signed Cuban infielder Yulieski Gourriel. Nikkan Sports quotes Gourriel as saying "Japan is known as a high-level league, so I've always wanted to try playing there. I'm very happy to have that hope fulfilled. I appreciate the Baystars for giving me this opportunity."

Gourriel will wear number 10 for the 'Stars, and his arrival in Japan is of yet undecided. No other details have been announced as of yet.
