The hot stove in Italian Baseball is already heating up, as news reports from Italy are saying that Novara is interested in signing Venezuelan slugger Willy Vasquez. The 33-year-old, who suited up for Nicaragua in the WBC Qualifier this March in Panama after playing in the Nicaraguan Winter League, first played in Italy in 2007. According to the regulations in Italian Baseball his playing rights still belong to T&A San Marino until January 31, 2017. Only if both sides don’t reach an agreement he is free to sign with Novara.
