The Cuban people were all aware of Contreras' defection.
I really didn't ask them about if they knew his wife had left. It seemed a bit trivial.
They were relatively open about their thoughts. The regime is not well liked at all.
Thanks for the report. I was at the Yankee-Mets game where Contreras pitched for the first time since getting his family back. He was awesome -- I have watched almost every single game all year, including most games that he has pitched, and this was the first time he gave off an aura of confidence. It's like he's a different pitcher now.
